WHEREAS, Five vocalists from Midway High School in Waco were |
|
|
chosen as 2015 Texas All-State Choir members by the Texas Music |
|
|
Educators Association; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The TMEA All-State designation is the highest |
|
|
accolade that a Texas music student can earn; more than 60,000 young |
|
|
people from across the state compete each year for a place 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, Those students named as 2015 All-State Choir members |
|
|
from Midway High School are seniors Abby Bennett and Elaine Sury, |
|
|
juniors Isaac Bradley and Christopher Curry, and sophomore Brittany |
|
|
Brewer; guided by choir directors Jeff and Jannifer Rice and |
|
|
private voice instructors David Guess and Julianne Best, these |
|
|
students demonstrated exceptional musicianship and technical |
|
|
facility throughout the audition process; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through countless hours of preparation and an |
|
|
unwavering commitment to excellence, these gifted young Texans have |
|
|
earned a place among the state's elite high school choral members, |
|
|
and they may indeed take great pride in their outstanding |
|
|
achievement; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Abby Bennett, Isaac Bradley, |
|
|
Brittany Brewer, Christopher Curry, and Elaine Sury on their |
|
|
selection as 2015 Texas All-State Choir 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 the vocalists as an expression of high regard by the Texas House |
|
|
of Representatives. |
