R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Texas music is famous throughout the world for its 
incomparable richness and variety, and among the most distinctive 
of the styles that compose this bounty is the traditional Mexican 
art form known as mariachi music; and
	WHEREAS, Edinburg High School has emerged as a prominent 
incubator of young mariachi talent, and its outstanding showing in 
the Ford Motor Company 10th Annual Mariachi Vargas Extravaganza in 
San Antonio in December 2004 is eloquent testament to the 
excellence of the school's mariachi music program; and
	WHEREAS, Over the course of a three-day workshop and 
competition that brought together almost 1,000 young practitioners 
of the mariachi's art, the Edinburg High School Mariachi Primer 
Orgullo made its presence known with moving and authoritative 
performances that secured the ensemble a tie for the third-place 
slot in the group competition category; and
	WHEREAS, In dedicating themselves to the mastery of this 
beloved genre, the musicians of Mariachi Primer Orgullo have 
established themselves as worthy heirs to a proud tradition even as 
their fresh approach imbues the form with new energy and 
inspiration; and
	WHEREAS, Representative Aaron Pena has justly recognized the 
Edinburg High School Mariachi Primer Orgullo by passing this 
resolution in its behalf during the Regular Session of the 79th 
Texas Legislature; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby congratulate the members of the Edinburg High 
School Mariachi Primer Orgullo on their outstanding musicianship 
and extend to them sincere best wishes for continued success; and, 
be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for the group as an expression of high regard by the Texas 
House of Representatives.

                                                                            Pena

	I certify that H.R. No. 1462 was adopted by the House on May 
13, 2005, by a non-record vote.
