                       Tuesday, February 24, 2004

  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, it has come to my attention that the Helias 
High School Marching Crusaders from Jefferson City, Missouri, have 
earned first place honors in the SBC/Cotton Bowl's band competition.
  Under the direction of Ray Cardwell, the students placed first for 
middle-sized schools in the field competition, parade and jazz band 
categories.
  Mr. Speaker, the Helias High School Marching Crusaders represented 
their school and their State with honor and distinction. I am certain 
that the Members of the House will join me in congratulating them on 
their fine performance.
