4A State Marching Title and the Honor Band for being named the 2008 
Class 4A Honor Band for the State of Texas by the Texas Music Educators 
Association.
  Last fall, the Poteet High School Marching Band secured the state 
championship title for its division for the second time in 3 years. The 
marching band received perfect scores from four of the five judges, 
placing them above 23 other elite bands.
  Meanwhile, the Poteet High School Honor Band was named the 2008 Class 
4A Honor Band for the State of Texas, the most prestigious honor for a 
high school concert band. For their achievement, the band will perform 
at the Texas Music Educators Association Convention in San Antonio, 
Texas.
  Madam Speaker, on behalf of the Fifth District of Texas, I am honored 
to recognize the Poteet High School Marching and Honor Bands, both the 
directors and students, for their talent, dedication to the arts, and 
their exceptional performance.
