                                 ______


                            HON. JACK FIELDS

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 26, 1994

  Mr. FIELDS. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I wish to bring 
to the attention of the House the fact that the Klein High School 
chorale recently took first place honors at the National High School 
Choral Festival held in Washington, DC, April 16-20. I am pleased that 
Klein High School is located in my congressional district, and that I 
represent most of the school's students in this body.
  This honor is testament to the hard work and dedication of the 82 
young men and women who comprise the Klein High School chorale, as well 
as the hard work and dedication of choral director Phillip Raddin and 
his assistant choral director, Jan Juneau.
  In all, 240 choirs that had received regional recognition submitted 
audition tapes to the festival committee. From this group, 28 choirs 
were invited to attend, and perform at, the festival. The top eight 
choirs were invited to perform at the John F. Kennedy Center for the 
Performing Arts on the evening of April 19. It was from this group that 
the Klein High School chorale received the first-place award.
  During their trip to the Nation's capital, the members of the Klein 
High School chorale also were asked to perform at the National 
Cathedral, Needless to say, Mr. Speaker, the members of the Klein High 
School chorale had an enjoyable and exciting time in Washington.
  I hope you, and all of my colleagues, will join with me in 
congratulating the members of the Klein High School chorale, their 
parents, and the faculty and staff of Klein High School--especially 
Phillip Raddin and Jan Juneau-- on winning the National High School 
Choral Festival, and wishing them continued success and happiness in 
the future.
  Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
