H.R. No. 130
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Cameron Yoe High School Band has been selected
as the 2A State Honor Band for 2014 by the Texas Music Educators
Association; and
WHEREAS, The Honor Band program was established in the late
1950s to raise the level of music instruction in the state and to
recognize communities and school systems for the success of the
instrumental music programs that they support; participation in the
contest has flourished through the years and competition is
intense; and
WHEREAS, About 200 2A high schools from across the state
participated in the early rounds of this year's contest; the
111-member Yoemen Band won first place at the region and area levels
and then advanced to the final round for the first time in school
history; competing against 13 other ensembles, the Yoemen received
top honors from the panel of five judges, with four first-place
votes and one second-place vote; as the Honor Band, these dedicated
young musicians will present a concert at the TMEA state convention
in San Antonio on February 14, 2014; and
WHEREAS, Skillfully guided by director Steven Moss, the
talented and hardworking members of the Cameron Yoe High School
Band have won great distinction for themselves, their school, and
their community, and they may indeed take pride in their
outstanding achievement; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby congratulate the Cameron
Yoe High School Band on its selection as the 2A State Honor Band for
2014 by the Texas Music Educators Association and extend to the
members sincere best wishes for a memorable and enjoyable
performance at the TMEA convention; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the band as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
