State Senator Vernon Asbill (R-Carlsbad) visits with the 59- member Carlsbad High School Troubadours choir prior to their performance singing the National Anthem and O Fair New Mexico, the state’s song, at a joint Senate and House session commemorating the state’s centennial. The New Mexico Legislative Centennial Celebration was held on Monday, January 30, 2012 in the House Chamber at the State Capitol. The choir, directed by Ken Miller, competes in various statewide competitions and are the recipients of numerous awards. In all state competitions, the choir has placed in either first, second or third in the state.
After the performance before the joint session of the Senate and House, Senator Asbill said, “These beautiful singers made all of us in Southeastern New Mexico proud today with their renditions of the National Anthem and our state song. What a tribute to our state and to its 100th anniversary as a state. These young people moved all of us in the capitol, some of my fellow legislators even mentioned they had goose bumps. These students are quite remarkable. I am so proud of these kids. ”
