                                 ______

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, August 13, 2021

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the 
Rockridge High School Chorus Department for taking 1st place in the 
IHSA Class B Music Sweepstakes.
  The IHSA Music Sweepstakes is an annual competition that judges solo 
and ensemble performances based on tone, technique, performance, 
creativity and other metrics. The exceptional performances secured 
Rockridge's sixth State Championship in the last ten years. It gives me 
great pleasure to see these students thriving both in school and with 
their peers despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
  It is because of talented and determined individuals such as these 
students that I am especially proud to serve Illinois' 17th 
Congressional District. Madam Speaker, I would like to again formally 
congratulate the Rockridge High School Chorus Department on being named 
Class B State Champions. I commend their hard work and perseverance, 
and I am very proud to be their Representative.
