has been selected as a 2013 Texas All-State Choir member by the | ||
Texas Music Educators Association, and this fine showing indeed | ||
merits special recognition; and | ||
WHEREAS, The All-State designation is the highest honor that | ||
a Texas music student can receive; more than 55,000 students from | ||
across the state audition for about 1,500 places in one of 13 | ||
All-State bands, orchestras, and choirs; those who win the coveted | ||
recognition attend the TMEA clinic in San Antonio, where they | ||
participate in three days of intense rehearsals and perform in | ||
concert; and | ||
WHEREAS, The daughter of James and Kimber Smith, Ally Smith | ||
has been a member of the Stephenville High School Choir for four | ||
years and currently serves as its president; she has participated | ||
in three Sweepstakes Varsity Women's and two Sweepstakes Varsity | ||
Mixed Choirs and has been a three-time soloist at the Texas State | ||
Solo-Ensemble competition, where she received recognition as an | ||
"Outstanding Soloist" during her sophomore year; she is a | ||
three-year member of the Region 7 TMEA All-Region Choir, and this | ||
year marks the second time she has qualified for the All-State Mixed | ||
Choir; and | ||
WHEREAS, In addition to participating in vocal ensembles at | ||
school, Ms. Smith takes private voice lessons at Tarleton State | ||
University from Professor Heather Hawk, showing impressive | ||
commitment to her craft; and | ||
WHEREAS, This young Texan is a source of pride to her family, | ||
teachers, and fellow students, and her accomplishments are truly | ||
worthy of commendation; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate Ally Smith on her selection as a | ||
member of the 2013 Texas Music Educators Association All-State | ||
Choir and extend to her sincere best wishes for continued success; | ||
and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Ms. Smith as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. | ||
