SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 725
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is proud to pay
tribute to Susan Angell-Gonzalez, who is retiring from her
position at Texas State University on May 4, 2013; and
WHEREAS, For the past 16 years, Susan has been the director
and choreographer of the Texas State Strutters, the acclaimed
drill team founded in 1960 at Texas State University; and
WHEREAS, Under Susan's leadership, the squad has performed
its precision dance routines in localities as far-flung as
Turkey, Chile, Australia, and the Czech Republic; back home, the
dancers have brightened the halftimes at Bobcat Stadium during
football season in San Marcos and have made annual guest
appearances before San Antonio Spurs audiences; and
WHEREAS, A former Strutters captain herself, Susan has
guided her team to impressive heights; the group has performed in
the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City and has
advanced to the semi-finals competition on the television show
"America's Got Talent"; and
WHEREAS, This talented choreographer has been an
outstanding role model over the years, and she has maintained the
high standards and core values for which the Strutters are
renowned; as she prepares for the next chapter of her life, Susan
leaves behind a legacy of excellence in precision dance, and she
will be dearly missed by her fans and friends alike; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd
Legislature, hereby commend Susan Angell-Gonzalez for her
successes as director of the Texas State Strutters and extend to
her sincere best wishes in the years ahead; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
her as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate.
