H.R. No. 130 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The Cameron Yoe High School Band has been selected | ||
as the 2A State Honor Band for 2014 by the Texas Music Educators | ||
Association; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Honor Band program was established in the late | ||
1950s to raise the level of music instruction in the state and to | ||
recognize communities and school systems for the success of the | ||
instrumental music programs that they support; participation in the | ||
contest has flourished through the years and competition is | ||
intense; and | ||
WHEREAS, About 200 2A high schools from across the state | ||
participated in the early rounds of this year's contest; the | ||
111-member Yoemen Band won first place at the region and area levels | ||
and then advanced to the final round for the first time in school | ||
history; competing against 13 other ensembles, the Yoemen received | ||
top honors from the panel of five judges, with four first-place | ||
votes and one second-place vote; as the Honor Band, these dedicated | ||
young musicians will present a concert at the TMEA state convention | ||
in San Antonio on February 14, 2014; and | ||
WHEREAS, Skillfully guided by director Steven Moss, the | ||
talented and hardworking members of the Cameron Yoe High School | ||
Band have won great distinction for themselves, their school, and | ||
their community, and they may indeed take pride in their | ||
outstanding achievement; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby congratulate the Cameron | ||
Yoe High School Band on its selection as the 2A State Honor Band for | ||
2014 by the Texas Music Educators Association and extend to the | ||
members sincere best wishes for a memorable and enjoyable | ||
performance at the TMEA convention; 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. | ||
