               RECOGNIZING RANCHO VERDE CRIMSON REGIMENT

  (Mr. TAKANO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TAKANO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Rancho Verde 
Crimson Regiment from Moreno Valley and their participation in the Rose 
Parade on January 1, 2025. This marks the second time that the Rancho 
Verde Crimson Regiment has participated in this iconic event in 
California.
  As a former high school educator, I know firsthand the dedication, 
discipline, and talent required to perform at this level. I 
congratulate all of the students and the band director, Honglac Hathuc, 
for their hard work and successful performance.
  I also wish to recognize the citizens who inhabit the Val Verde 
Unified School District for supporting, with their taxpayer dollars, 
the tremendous music education program that begins in the elementary 
schools.
