| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize Roberto Pulido on the occasion of the Edinburg | ||
| Independent School District's fine arts auditorium at Robert | ||
| Vela High School being named in his honor; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Roberto Pulido has been at the forefront of music | ||
| in South Texas for many years; a native of Edinburg, he taught | ||
| music in the Pharr-San Juan-Alamo Independent School District | ||
| before leaving the field of education to form a group known as Los | ||
| Clasicos; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Under his leadership, Los Clasicos developed a | ||
| musical style that embodies a unique fusion of the traditional | ||
| Tejano orchestral brass sound and the accordion-based sound of | ||
| conjunto, polkas, and cumbias; the new style became immensely | ||
| popular, and the band's single, Copa Tras Copa, achieved | ||
| tremendous popularity; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Mr. Pulido has produced more than 40 albums over | ||
| the course of his illustrious career, and he continues to draw | ||
| enthusiastic crowds wherever he performs; known affectionately | ||
| to his fans as "El Primo," he has also produced and starred in | ||
| numerous music and television programs; and | ||
| WHEREAS, He has made a difference in the lives of many | ||
| aspiring young musicians by establishing the Roberto Pulido | ||
| Music Scholarship Endowment Fund at The University of Texas--Pan | ||
| American and The University of Texas at Brownsville; it is truly | ||
| fitting that the fine arts auditorium at Robert Vela High School | ||
| be named in his honor; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th | ||
| Legislature, hereby commend Roberto Pulido on his many | ||
| contributions to the music industry and the culture of South | ||
| Texas and extend to him congratulations on the renaming of the | ||
| fine arts auditorium at Robert Vela High School in his honor; | ||
| and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| him as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. | ||
