with the Music Teachers National Association and the Texas Music |

|
Teachers Association; its membership had grown to about 150 by |

|
|
teachers; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, For the past century, members of the San Antonio |
|
|
Music Teachers Association have worked tirelessly to elevate |
|
|
standards of education and musicianship, and their endeavors have |
|
|
heightened appreciation for the ways in which the arts improve the |
|
|
quality of life in a community; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize March 31, 2015, as San Antonio Music |
