  Mr. MARCHANT. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Coppell 
High School Band for their accomplishments and commitment to the City 
of Coppell. The Coppell High School Band represents one of the finest 
organizations in Texas and in the City of Coppell. The band, which is 
composed of over 350 members, represents the school with pride and 
dedication that is shown through their hard work, perseverance, and 
achievements. The Coppell Band has received a variety of National and 
local awards and honors such as the Tournament of Roses Parade and has 
been a 7-year consecutive winner of the Texas State Solo and Ensemble 
Championship. I commend the Coppell Band of past and present for their 
dedication during challenging periods of growth and laud their 
accomplishments of becoming a premier north Texas organization for 
families and students to become involved in. I honor the Coppell High 
School Band on this milestone and look forward to the future as the 
city and this organization continues to be a shining example in north 
Texas. It is with pride that I serve such a distinguished city in my 
congressional district and give my sincere congratulations to the 
Coppell High School Band.
