H.R. No. 2275
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Five vocalists from Midway High School in Waco were
chosen as 2015 Texas All-State Choir members by the Texas Music
Educators Association; and
WHEREAS, The TMEA All-State designation is the highest
accolade that a Texas music student can earn; more than 60,000 young
people from across the state compete each year for a place in one of
15 All-State bands, orchestras, and choirs; those who are selected
for one of the ensembles are among the top one percent of high
school musicians in the Lone Star State and are invited to attend
the annual TMEA convention in San Antonio, where they participate
in three days of intense rehearsals and perform a concert under the
direction of a nationally recognized conductor; and
WHEREAS, Those students named as 2015 All-State Choir members
from Midway High School are seniors Abby Bennett and Elaine Sury,
juniors Isaac Bradley and Christopher Curry, and sophomore Brittany
Brewer; guided by choir directors Jeff and Jannifer Rice and
private voice instructors David Guess and Julianne Best, these
students demonstrated exceptional musicianship and technical
facility throughout the audition process; and
WHEREAS, Through countless hours of preparation and an
unwavering commitment to excellence, these gifted young Texans have
earned a place among the state's elite high school choral members,
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 Abby Bennett, Isaac Bradley,
Brittany Brewer, Christopher Curry, and Elaine Sury on their
selection as 2015 Texas All-State Choir members and extend to them
sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That official copies of this resolution be prepared
for the vocalists as an expression of high regard by the Texas House
of Representatives.
