|
|
in three days of intense rehearsals and perform a concert under the |
|
|

|
|
Choir, Ms. Rhodes was chosen as a first-chair alto from the Area D |

|
|
member Nate Hutcherson and choir director Rebekah Zeek, and in all |
|
|
her endeavors she enjoys the love and support of her parents, Brett |
|
|
and Grace Rhodes; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through countless hours of preparation and an |
|
|
unwavering commitment to excellence, this gifted young Texan has |
|
|
earned a place among the state's elite high school choral members, |
|
|
and she may indeed take great pride in her outstanding achievement; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Amber Rhodes on her selection as a |
