| H.C.R. No. 162 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The Space Center Intermediate Band in Houston is one | ||
| of only three ensembles in the nation to earn the 2010 Sudler Cup | ||
| from the John Philip Sousa Foundation; and | ||
| WHEREAS, This prestigious annual award is presented to junior | ||
| high and middle school concert band programs that have demonstrated | ||
| a consistent commitment to excellence over a period of several | ||
| years, and Space Center Intermediate is the only school to ever win | ||
| the cup twice; its first cup in 1999 recognized the excellence of | ||
| the band program under its founding director, Gregory Dick, while | ||
| its most recent achievement is a testament to the band's continuing | ||
| excellence under Donald McCandless, director since 2000; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Since Space Center Intermediate School opened in | ||
| 1992, the band has won numerous prizes and medals, including a total | ||
| of 40 Sweepstakes Awards at University Interscholastic League | ||
| competitions, and it was named a 2008 national winner in the Mark of | ||
| Excellence/National Wind Band Honors Project; in addition, Space | ||
| Center students have won more than 5,000 medals for solo and | ||
| ensemble performances; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Building on a long-standing tradition of | ||
| achievement, the talented student musicians of the Space Center | ||
| Intermediate Band have earned great distinction for themselves and | ||
| their school, and it is indeed a pleasure to honor them; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the 82nd Legislature of the State of Texas | ||
| hereby congratulate the Space Center Intermediate Band on its | ||
| receipt of a 2010 Sudler Cup from the John Philip Sousa Foundation | ||
| and extend to the band's directors and musicians sincere best | ||
| wishes for continued success; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for the band as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives and Senate. | ||
