              RECOGNIZING GREENE CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL BAND

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, there is so much excitement 
in my home county, Greene County, North Carolina.
  The Greene Central High School band received the highest marks at the 
North Carolina Bandmasters Association Music Performance Adjudication 
concert band festival. They earned a superior rating, which is the 
highest score. The band consists of 40 incredible students, led by an 
amazing band director, Mr. Andrew Howell.
  Music education remains essential, not just in eastern North Carolina 
but across the Nation. I am so proud of the Greene Central High School 
band, and I thank everyone across America for joining in this exciting 
achievement. I look forward to hearing all the wonderful music they 
will make in their future.
  Go Rams.
