WHEREAS, In a national battle of bands, Austin's James Bowie |
|
|
High School Outdoor Performing Ensemble scored high, placing 12th |
|
|
in its finals performance at the Bands of America Grand National |
|
|
Championships on November 11, 2006; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The dedicated Bowie musicians who participated in |
|
|
the BOA national finals were the first to represent their school at |
|
|
that prestigious event; they achieved their high ranking against |
|
|
stiff competition: among the 92 bands attending the contest from |
|
|
across the United States, approximately 15 were former Bands of |
|
|
America national finalists; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Earning the title of Grand National Finalist is an |
|
|
enormous accomplishment for any band, but for the Bowie Outdoor |
|
|
Performing Ensemble to do so well in its first attempt is truly a |
|
|
testament to the hard work of the students and staff, as well as the |
|
|
support offered by parents and classmates; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the James Bowie High School Outdoor |
|
|
Performing Ensemble on its 12th-place win at the Bands of America |
|
|
Grand National Championships and extend sincere best wishes to all |
|
|
the young musicians and their teachers; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the ensemble as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
