   RECOGNIZING THE MOUNTAIN FIFES AND DRUMS OF TWIN PEAKS, CALIFORNIA

  (Mr. OBERNOLTE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. OBERNOLTE. Madam Speaker, I rise in proud recognition of the 
Mountain Fifes and Drums music program in my own district in Twin 
Peaks, California.
  This program is dedicated to the patriotic mission of teaching young 
Americans, age 10 to 18, appreciation of and performance of 18th 
century military music.
  They do this through instruction in classic musical instruments, such 
as the fife and the rope tension drum. I am extremely proud that the 
Mountain Fifes and Drums music program is performing today in Mt. 
Vernon, appropriately, the home of our first Commander in Chief, George 
Washington.
  It warms my heart that programs like this exist to teach this 
patriotic art and appreciation of this unique period of American 
history to a new generation of Americans.
