 CONGRATULATING ZACH MOORE ON HIS SELECTION TO THE HIGH SCHOOL HONORS

                      Wednesday, February 10, 2016

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Zach Moore, a 
senior trombone player at Glendale High School in Springfield, 
Missouri, on being selected to perform in the High School Honors 
Performance Series at Carnegie Hall in New York City.
  Starting in 2009, The High School Honors Performance Series was 
established to showcase the most talented high school performers in the 
country. To be considered for inclusion in this series, Moore underwent 
a competitive application process which required a written 
recommendation from an instructor and his submitting an audition tape. 
The various different ensembles on display at the series are conducted 
by renowned conductors, who will challenge Zach to perform to the best 
of his abilities.
  Zach has assembled a truly admirable body of work playing the 
trombone, earning a Bass Trombone slot in the All-State Orchestra this 
year as well as first chair trombone honors in the All-District Honor 
Band. He has played with the U.S. Army All-American Marching Band at 
the halftime show of the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, a testament to 
his ability to perform at a high level in front of a large audience. 
Zach has been described as an incredibly hard worker who is both 
dedicated to his art and exceptionally talented.
  Mr. Speaker, Zach Moore deserves our congratulations on his selection 
to the High School Honors Performance Series. I urge my colleagues to 
join me in extending congratulations to Zach on his achievements, which 
make him an example of the outstanding talent Missouri's Seventh 
Congressional District has to offer.
