A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE DELVIN CHOICE OF SIMPSONVILLE FOR HIS SUCCESS ON THE NBC SHOW THE VOICE, TO RECOGNIZE HIM FOR HIS FINE REPRESENTATION OF OUR STATE TO A NATIONAL AUDIENCE, AND TO WISH HIM WELL IN ALL HIS FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to note that Delvin Choice of Simpsonville did well on the popular NBC television show The Voice; and

Whereas, a 2008 graduate of Greenville County Schools and Greenville's Fine Arts Center, which helped foster his musical ambitions, Delvin steadily moved up the rankings on the popular television show and made it through seven rounds; and

Whereas, by portraying a positive and energetic image on national television, he has been a strong influence on the students and youth of the Palmetto State; and

Whereas, Delvin Choice has been singing all his life. He is the son of the Reverend and Mrs. Willie J. (Hennie) Choice of Simpsonville, who recall that Delvin came into this world singing "a high soprano that rang throughout Greenville Memorial Hospital. We knew right then that he was a very special gift from God." Delvin gave his life to the Lord at an early age and is a member of Campfield Baptist Church in Abbeville, where his father is the overseer. He also has sung regularly with the New Springs Church worship band in Anderson; and

Whereas, this rising young artist has completed four years of classical voice training and was the National Association of Teachers of Singing first-place winner in 2005 and 2006. In addition, he placed first in the Omega Talent Hunt Program in 2005, 2007, and 2008. He has been a featured soloist for Greenville County Schools and was cast in Greenville Little Theatre's productions of Ain't Misbehavin' and Carousel. Further, Delvin played in the State of South Carolina Children's Theatre's Seussical the Musical and Pippin with Fountain Inn Repertory Experience; and

Whereas, he is the latest in a long line of South Carolina musical artists who have shone brightly on our State; and

Whereas, appreciative of his talent and hard work, the House salutes Delvin Choice and looks with interest to hearing of his further accomplishments in the years ahead. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate Delvin Choice of Simpsonville for his success on the NBC show The Voice, recognize him for his fine representation of our State to a national audience, and wish him well in all his future endeavors.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Delvin Choice.
