WHEREAS, Four musicians from Midway High School in Waco were |
|
|
chosen as 2015 Texas All-State orchestra members by the Texas Music |
|
|
Educators Association; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The TMEA All-State designation is the highest |
|
|
achievement that a Texas music student can earn; more than 60,000 |
|
|
young people from across the state compete every year for a chair in |
|
|
one of 15 All-State bands, orchestras, and choirs; those who are |
|
|
selected for one of the ensembles are among the top one percent of |
|
|
high school musicians in the Lone Star State and are invited to |
|
|
attend the annual TMEA convention in San Antonio, where they |
|
|
participate in three days of intense rehearsals and perform a |
|
|
concert under the direction of a nationally recognized conductor; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Benefiting from the guidance of Midway High |
|
|
orchestra director Beau Benson, these students demonstrated |
|
|
exceptional musicianship and technical facility throughout the |
|
|
audition process; this talented group includes junior violist |
|
|
Hannah Burnett for the symphony orchestra, senior bassist Brendan |
|
|
Carrillo and freshman violinist Augusta Schubert for the |
|
|
philharmonic orchestra, and sophomore violinist Edward Kim for the |
|
|
string orchestra; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through their skill and hard work, these gifted |
|
|
young Texans have earned a place among the state's elite high school |
|
|
musicians, and they may indeed take great pride in this outstanding |
|
|
achievement; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Midway High School students |
|
|
selected as 2015 Texas All-State orchestra members and extend to |
|
|
them sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That official copies of this resolution be prepared |
|
|
for Ms. Burnett, Mr. Carrillo, Mr. Kim, and Ms. Schubert as an |
|
|
expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
