                      Thursday, November 15, 2007

  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Flower 
Mound High School Drumline in Flower Mound, Texas. The Flower Mound 
High School Drumline has been named ``Best Drumline in the Nation'' by 
the Percussive Arts Society International Marching Festival competition 
in Columbus, Ohio, and for the first time, was awarded the nationally 
acknowledged Fred Sanford Award.
  The Flower Mound High School Drumline's show, entitled ``Primary 
Focus,'' is centered on the idea that music is the main part of the 
number. Along with the ``Best Drumline'' award, individual students at 
Flower Mound High School also received awards for Best Snare Pit, Best 
Tenor Line and Best Ensemble. The forty-two member drumline competes 
annually in indoor and outdoor competitions, as well as marching in the 
half time shows during the football season.
  It is my honor to represent a group that shows such talent, hard 
work, and dedication at such a young age. I extend my sincere 
congratulations to The Flower Mound High School Drumline.
