| WHEREAS, Members of the Georgetown High School Jazz Ensemble | ||
| are performing at the State Capitol on March 4, 2013, for Fine Arts | ||
| Day; and | ||
| WHEREAS, First begun as an informal club, the Georgetown Jazz | ||
| Program is now an award-winning jazz performance ensemble that has | ||
| played across the state; the group teaches students not only to | ||
| perform but also to appreciate and understand the rich history of | ||
| jazz; in addition, the program hosts an annual jazz festival that | ||

| opportunity to play for and learn from expert musicians; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The group has performed at many competitions, such | ||
| as the Texas State Jazz Festival, Temple Jazz Festival, and | ||
| Kingsville Jazz Festival, regularly bringing home "Superior" | ||
| ratings; moreover, individual band members have received many | ||
| awards at these events as well and often qualify to participate in | ||
| both the regional and state jazz ensembles; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Under the leadership of director Amanda Stevenson, | ||
| the Georgetown Jazz Ensemble has distinguished itself as one of the | ||
| top high school jazz programs in the Lone Star State, and its | ||
| talented young musicians may indeed take great pride in their | ||
| achievements; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate the Georgetown High School Jazz | ||
| Ensemble on its performance for Fine Arts Day at the State Capitol | ||
| and extend to its members sincere best wishes for continued | ||
| success; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for the group as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives. | ||
