WHEREAS, Three musicians from Johnny G. Economedes High |
|
|
School in Edinburg have been chosen as 2017 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 64,000 |
|
|
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 orchestra director |
|
|
Cristina Gonzalez, the Economedes High School students making |
|
|
All-State are senior double bassist Isai Martinez for the symphony |
|
|
orchestra, senior violist Aaron Barrera for the philharmonic |
|
|
orchestra, and sophomore double bassist Diego Garza-Romero for the |
|
|
string orchestra; this marks Mr. Martinez's third and |
|
|
Mr. Garza-Romero's second selection to an All-State ensemble; 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 85th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Isai Martinez, Aaron Barrera, and |
|
|
Diego Garza-Romero on their selection as 2017 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 Mr. Martinez, Mr. Barrera, and Mr. Garza-Romero as an |
|
|
expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
