||
WHEREAS, The Roma Middle School Symphonic Winds ensemble | ||
earned the distinction of performing at the 70th annual Midwest | ||

prestigious international conference dedicated to helping | ||

states and over 30 countries and features concerts from ensembles | ||

is based largely on performance recordings submitted as part of the | ||

chosen to perform at the conference in 2016, the Roma ensemble | ||
played before an audience of some 2,000 people on December 15; the | ||

asked to perform at the event since 1952, as well as the first | ||
middle school band from South Texas ever to be invited; and | ||

are a source of great pride to their school and community; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate the Roma | ||
Middle School Symphonic Winds ensemble on its appearance at the | ||
2016 Midwest Clinic International Band, Orchestra and Music | ||
