	H.R. No. 971



	R E S O L U T I O N

	WHEREAS, Three musicians from Johnny G. Economedes High
	School in Edinburg have been chosen as 2017 Texas All-State
	Orchestra members by the Texas Music Educators Association; and
	WHEREAS, The TMEA All-State designation is the highest
	achievement that a Texas music student can earn; more than 64,000
	young people from across the state compete every year for a chair in
	one of 15 All-State bands, orchestras, and choirs; those who are
	selected for one of the ensembles are among the top one percent of
	high school musicians in the Lone Star State and are invited to
	attend the annual TMEA convention in San Antonio, where they
	participate in three days of intense rehearsals and perform a
	concert under the direction of a nationally recognized conductor;
	and
	WHEREAS, Benefiting from the guidance of orchestra director
	Cristina Gonzalez, the Economedes High School students making
	All-State are senior double bassist Isai Martinez for the symphony
	orchestra, senior violist Aaron Barrera for the philharmonic
	orchestra, and sophomore double bassist Diego Garza-Romero for the
	string orchestra; this marks Mr. Martinez's third and
	Mr. Garza-Romero's second selection to an All-State ensemble; and
	WHEREAS, Through their skill and hard work, these gifted
	young Texans have earned a place among the state's elite high school
	musicians, and they may indeed take great pride in this outstanding
	achievement; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
	Legislature hereby congratulate Isai Martinez, Aaron Barrera, and
	Diego Garza-Romero on their selection as 2017 Texas All-State
	Orchestra members and extend to them sincere best wishes for
	continued success; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That official copies of this resolution be prepared
	for Mr. Martinez, Mr. Barrera, and Mr. Garza-Romero as an
	expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
