  WHEREAS,  Music in Our Schools Month provides an opportunity for the

  WHEREAS,  The  New York State School Music Association sponsors this
event and has helped it to evolve from a  New  York  State  Day  into  a
month-long national observance; and

  WHEREAS,  Henry  Tsekerides,  a  student  at Cold Spring Harbor High
School, Cold Spring Harbor, New York, will be playing the drums; and

  WHEREAS, Henry Tsekerides has worked hard at his  music  rehearsals,
classroom assignments and practice sessions, fully aware that the amount
of  time and energy he is willing to expend directly affects the quality
of his music; and

  WHEREAS, Henry  Tsekerides,  along  with  his  family,  friends  and
teachers, can be justifiably proud of his musical and other achievements
and  his participation in Music in Our Schools Month; now, therefore, be
it
