HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
	WHEREAS, On January 20th, 2005, the Crawford High School Band 
became the only high school band from Texas to perform in the 
Inaugural Parade of President George W. Bush; and
	WHEREAS, Even before this momentous occasion, this group of 
musician-students also proudly took on the role of a key 
spirit-raising group in the undefeated season of the Crawford 
Pirates football team; and
	WHEREAS, Where taking on even one of these tasks would have 
been more than enough for one band, the Crawford High School Band 
took on both without missing a beat; and
	WHEREAS, The efforts of this group to raise community spirit 
as well as funds for their trip to Washington, D.C., gained national 
attention and captured the hearts of all, highlighting the can-do 
spirit of the Crawford community; and
	WHEREAS, The undying determination of this band to offer its 
support to the school and community was expertly summed up by 
Director Paul Thronburg, who said, "We keep going.  As long as 
they're going, we're going"; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the 79th Legislature of the State of Texas 
hereby congratulate and honor the Crawford High School Band for 
their outstanding, successful, and eventful year; and, be it 
further
	RESOLVED, That congratulations be extended to each member of 
the band, including Director Paul Thronburg; Assistant Director 
Bryan Weaver; Drum Major Alyena Blackketter; members Ana Beers, 
Joshua Beers, Benjamin Berry, Bethany Berry, Mary Bucher, Louie 
Cook, Austin Dixon, Daniel Harris, Stephanie Hodges, Michael 
Holcomb, Andrew Hufford, Johanna Jhant, Andrew Judy, C. K. King,

Raley, and Caitlin Smith; and Flag Corps Captain Caitlin 
Blackketter and members Roxanne Braswell, Jessica Ewert, Danielle

	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Crawford High School as an expression of high regard by 
the Texas House of Representatives and Senate.
