                      Wednesday, January 10, 2024

  Mr. MIKE GARCIA of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
congratulate the West Ranch Marching Band for their outstanding 
achievement in winning first place in Division 4A at the SoCal Marching 
Band Championship. Led by first-year band director Rod Schueller, the 
West Ranch Marching Band won every category leading up to their gold 
medal.
  This significant accomplishment reflects the talent, hard work, and 
dedication of the students, staff, and parents involved in the West 
Ranch High School music program. Their performance was a true display 
of artistry, skill, and precision.
  Four other high schools from the Santa Clarita Valley competed in the 
championships. Valencia and Canyon High Schools took second and eighth 
place respectively in Division 2A, while Saugus High School and Golden 
Valley took fifth and eighth place respectively in Division 3A. Each 
marching band has made their school and community proud.
  I encourage all members of Congress to join me in congratulating the 
West Ranch High School Marching Band on their impressive achievement. 
Their commitment to excellence in their craft should serve as an 
inspiration to all of us. I wish them continued success in all of their 
future endeavors.
  Once again, I extend a warm congratulations to the West Ranch High 
School Marching Band on this well-deserved honor.
