  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate The Lutheran 
South Academy band in Houston for winning the state championship.
  The Lutheran South Academy band made school history by winning the 
state championship for the first time. The band competed in the Texas 
Association of Private and Parochial Schools Large Ensemble contest, 
and was awarded superior ratings along with the state Sweepstakes 
Award. In addition, the school's jazz ensemble was also awarded an 
excellent score at the competition.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to The Lutheran South Academy band for winning 
their first ever state championship. We look forward to hearing more 
beautiful music from these young musicians and wish them success in 
their future endeavors.
