Junior High Honor Band for being selected for the Foundation for Music 
Education's Mark of Excellence Program.
  The Mark of Excellence Project recognizes outstanding achievement in 
performance from high school and middle school bands, choirs and 
orchestras across the country. The Briscoe Junior High Honor Band was 
chosen as a Commended Winner. This is a wonderful honor and speaks to 
the talent of the band members and the school's music program.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to the Briscoe Junior High Honor Band. We are 
very proud of them and look forward to their future successes. We are 
excited to have them represent TX-22.
