                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, February 9, 2009

  Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Madam Speaker, on Sunday, January 18th, 
the Foxborough, Massachusetts High School Jazz Ensemble was given the 
great--and fully deserved--honor of playing at the Kennedy Center as 
part of the event that was entitled ``Swing Into Freedom.'' The 
ensemble accompanied Wynton Marsalis and I am very proud that high 
school students in the district I am privileged to represent were 
selected for this important part of the Inauguration festivities and 
performed in a manner that fully justified the invitation to them.
  Madam Speaker, I want to congratulate the members of the Foxborough 
High School Jazz Ensemble and also those planning this program who had 
the foresight to include this excellent group of young musicians in 
this important set of events in the nation's history.
