|
||
WHEREAS, Recent Crane High School graduate David Rombouts was | ||
named an Outstanding Performer in the keyboard percussion event at | ||
the University Interscholastic League Texas State Solo and Ensemble | ||
Contest held in Austin and Pflugerville on May 27-29, 2017; and | ||
WHEREAS, Each year, some 100,000 student-musicians from | ||
across Texas participate in the UIL solo and ensemble competition; | ||
in order to advance to the state contest, students must earn a | ||
Division I, or "superior," rating at the regional level, and in | ||
2017, only 287 of the approximately 25,000 contestants who | ||
qualified for the state competition were selected as Outstanding | ||
Performers; and | ||
WHEREAS, During the event, Mr. Rombouts played from memory a | ||
four-mallet marimba solo, "Strive to be Happy" by Ivan Trevino, and | ||
his exemplary performance of the piece also garnered him a Division | ||
I gold medal; while preparing for the contest, he benefited from the | ||
skilled guidance of band director Daniel Todd; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through his considerable ability, determination, | ||
and hard work, David Rombouts has proven himself to be one of the | ||
finest high school musicians in the Lone Star State, and it is a | ||
pleasure to recognize him for this notable achievement; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate David | ||
Rombouts on his selection as an Outstanding Performer at the 2017 | ||
UIL Texas State Solo and Ensemble Contest and extend to him sincere | ||
best wishes for continued success; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Mr. Rombouts as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. | ||
