                       Wednesday, March 23, 2016

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the symphonic 
band of McMeans Junior High (MMJH) in Katy, Texas for their upcoming 
performance at the National Middle School Concert Band Festival for the 
Music for All National Festival, hosted at Butler University in 
Indianapolis.
  The MMJH symphonic band, under the direction of George Liverman, will 
not only perform in front of professionally and nationally known 
experts at the Music for All National Festival, but will also engage in 
master classes, leadership sessions and other beneficial events to 
heighten and sharpen their instrumental skills. Through these 
workshops, students will have the ability to meet independently with 
professionals and get helpful advice regarding their personal 
instrument and position within the symphonic band. We are extremely 
proud of the McMeans Junior High Symphonic Band, and we can't wait to 
see their success at the National Middle School Concert Band Festival.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to the McMeans Junior High Symphonic Band for 
earning the opportunity to perform at the Music for All National 
Festival. Keep up the great work.
