WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize the B Sharp Youth Music Program at Como Elementary
School in Fort Worth, which has been named a Gold Seal Program of
Choice; and
WHEREAS, The Gold Seal Program of Choice initiative offers
specialized courses to students across the Fort Worth
Independent School District, and Como Elementary School is the
district's first elementary school to receive this prestigious
honor; and
WHEREAS, The B Sharp Youth Music Program offers
participating students free daily academic tutoring along with
instruction in percussion, brass, woodwind, and string
instruments and voice; students in the program make up the
district's only elementary-level symphonic orchestra; and
WHEREAS, This outstanding program was launched in 2010 by
the Goff Family Foundation as part of its adoption of Como
Elementary School; in addition to musical instruction, it
includes field trips to such venues as Bass Hall and
opportunities to perform for audiences across the community; and

Program be recognized as a Gold Seal Program of Choice; now,
therefore, be it
