  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge the hard 
work and dedication of three TX 24 high schools: Colleyville Heritage 
High School, Keller High School and Carroll High School and their band 
directors Gary Barnard, Mark McGahey and Ken Johnson. These three high 
school marching bands have excelled, in showmanship and technical 
ability this year. Last weekend, they advanced to the state 
championship, which will be held over the next two weeks.
  I thank our students for representing North Texas, and their 
dedication and years of hard work. I also thank their band directors 
who spend their careers teaching and enriching the lives of students. I 
wish them the best in their upcoming performance and congratulate them 
on all of their hard work paying off.
