Congratulating David Rombouts of Crane High School on his selection as an Outstanding Performer at the 2017 UIL Texas State Solo and Ensemble Contest.
The resolution highlights the significance of music education and the UIL competitions, which involve approximately 100,000 student-musicians each year in Texas. It serves to promote appreciation for the arts and acknowledges the hard work and commitment required by students participating in such competitive events. By recognizing individual performers like Rombouts, HR51 aims to inspire other young musicians and elevate the importance of music in educational contexts.
House Resolution 51 honors David Rombouts, a recent graduate of Crane High School, for his exceptional performance at the University Interscholastic League (UIL) Texas State Solo and Ensemble Contest in 2017. This resolution recognizes Rombouts's achievement as an Outstanding Performer in the keyboard percussion event and celebrates the dedication and talent he displayed in his musical endeavors. During the contest, Rombouts performed a four-mallet marimba solo titled 'Strive to be Happy' by Ivan Trevino and received a Division I gold medal for his performance.
The sentiment surrounding HR51 is overwhelmingly positive, celebrating achievement and excellence in student musicians. It reflects the values of encouragement and recognition within the educational system, where accomplishments in arts education are acknowledged by legislative bodies. The positive nature of the resolution serves to uplift the community and foster a culture of support for all students pursuing excellence in music.
As a resolution rather than a law, HR51 does not face significant contention or debate. The nature of the resolution is to celebrate an individual's achievement rather than address policies that may incite differing opinions. Thus, it is supported across the board by legislators who seek to commend the efforts of students and reinforce the importance of arts within the educational framework of Texas.
