                   HONORING MUNFORD HIGH SCHOOL BAND

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Tennessee (Mr. Kustoff) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. KUSTOFF of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
students of the Munford High School marching band.
  About 265 students from Tipton County, Tennessee, will represent 
Munford High School in the Tournament of Roses Parade. This annual 
tradition takes place each year in Pasadena, California, on New Year's 
Day. It is a distinct honor to be invited to march in the Tournament of 
Roses Parade, with only five bands from across the Nation receiving an 
invitation each year. Munford High School will be the only band from 
the mid-South area selected for this event.
  This talented group of students, led by Dr. Courtney Fee and director 
Barry Trobaugh, will be proudly representing not only Munford High 
School but the entire State of Tennessee. They have made our community 
proud.
  To the students: You have worked really long and hard hours for this 
day to come. I hope you take in each and every moment of this 
incredible opportunity in Pasadena. May you remember this moment and 
this honor for many years to come. Best of luck, Cougars. Tennessee is 
really proud of you.
