  Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, I rise today in tribute to the Detroit 
Youth Concert Choir & Performing Arts Company for its recent stellar 
run on America's Got Talent.
  The Detroit Youth Concert Choir & Performing Arts Company was founded 
in 1996 on the premise of educating Detroit Youth about the arts 
through music education and dance. Under the nurturing direction and 
leadership of Creative Director Anthony White, the young people of 
Detroit Youth Choir have worked tirelessly and with great enthusiasm to 
perfect and hone their craft. The culmination of their hard work and 
dedication was proudly displayed on the nationally televised show 
America's Got Talent. From receiving a golden buzzer to placing second 
in the competition, the Detroit Youth Concert Choir and Performing Arts 
Company has represented metropolitan Detroit in a remarkable manner and 
set a wonderful example for young people everywhere. The Detroit Youth 
Choir continues to embody the true spirit of Detroit, which shines 
through in all of their performances everywhere they go.
  I ask you to please join me in honoring the Detroit Youth & 
Performing Arts Company on its outstanding achievement as they bring 
pride to the City of Detroit and the State of Michigan.
