WHEREAS, The Meistersingers at Midway High School in Woodway |
|
|
earned three UIL Sweepstakes trophies at the 2013 Concert and |
|
|
Sight-Reading Contest on April 8, 2013; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The annual competition serves as a platform for |
|
|
large groups of singers to perform classical choral literature; |
|
|
each ensemble is charged with singing prepared pieces as well as |
|
|
sight-reading a piece of music before a group of adjudicators, who |
|
|
evaluate each group on its stage performance and sight-reading |
|
|
ability; only those who receive Division I Superior ratings in all |
|
|
UIL contests in a given school year earn the prestigious |
|
|
Sweepstakes Award; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In this year's contest, the Meistersingers' mixed |
|
|
choir, varsity women's choir, and varsity men's choir all received |
|
|
Division I Superior ratings, and their exemplary performances |
|
|
earned Midway High School its first three choral Sweepstakes |
|
|
trophies as a 5A school; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through long hours of practice and an unwavering |
|
|
commitment to excellence, the Midway Meistersingers have developed |
|
|
into an accomplished ensemble that is a source of great pride to its |
|
|
school and to its many community supporters; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Midway High School |
|
|
Meistersingers on earning three UIL Sweepstakes trophies at the |
|
|
2013 Concert and Sight-Reading Contest and extend to all those |
|
|
associated with the choir sincere best wishes for continued |
|
|
success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|

|
|
