demonstrated exceptional talent and technical facility throughout
the audition process; and

Texans have placed them among the state's elite high school
musicians, and they may indeed take great pride in their
outstanding achievement; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Jonathan Lewis and Zach Zajicek on
their selection as 2015 Texas All-State Band members and extend to
them sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further
