WHEREAS, Six musicians from Midway High School received
special honors in the 2013 Texas Music Educators Association
All-State competition, and this fine showing indeed merits
recognition and commendation; and
WHEREAS, The TMEA All-State designation is the highest
achievement that a Texas secondary school music student can earn;
more than 60,000 young people from around the state compete
annually to perform in one of 13 All-State bands, orchestras, and
choirs; musicians are ranked by a panel of TMEA judges based on
their regional auditions, and a select group advances to perform in
one of seven area competitions; only the most accomplished
performers from the area contests qualify for one of the All-State
music ensembles; and
WHEREAS, Demonstrating great skill and dedication, Hannah
Burnett was selected to represent Midway in the All-State Orchestra
for her performance on viola, while Elaine Sury, an alto 2, and
Natalie Guess, a soprano 1, were both named to the All-State Women's
Choir; in addition, Kasie Meek, an alto 2, Katherine Burns, a
soprano 2, and Abby Bennett, an alto 1, were chosen as choir
alternates; and
WHEREAS, These talented young musicians are a source of pride
to their families, teachers, and fellow students, and they may
indeed look to the future with anticipation toward the many
exciting opportunities that lie ahead; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Abby Bennett, Hannah Burnett,
Katherine Burns, Natalie Guess, Kasie Meek, and Elaine Sury on
their success in the 2013 Texas Music Educators Association
All-State competition and extend to them sincere best wishes for
the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the students as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
