                       Thursday, December 9, 2010

  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Argyle High 
School Band from Argyle, Texas for their recent outstanding achievement 
in winning the 2010 Class 3A UIL Texas State Marching Band 
Championship.
  Argyle swept the state competition in San Antonio with a unanimous 
decision from all judges for a perfect score of straight 1's, besting 
their closest competitor by a significant margin. The band's stellar 
performance of ``Inside Out'' earned them their fourth state title.
  The accomplished members of the Argyle High School Band deserve 
praise for their hard work and dedication. I commend Argyle's Director 
Kathy Johnson, Associate Director Michael Lemish, Superintendent Telena 
Wright and Principle Jeff Butts for their leadership of these exemplary 
students.
  Madam Speaker, it is truly an honor to have the opportunity to 
commend the Argyle High School Band. I am proud to represent the 
administrators, teachers, staff and students that comprise the Argyle 
Independent School District in the U.S. House of Representatives.
