                 RECOGNIZING CENTRAL MOUNTAIN STUDENTS

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
eight students from the Central Middle School and High School who 
performed in December at the ReliaQuest Bowl in Tampa Bay, Florida.
  The Central Mountain Middle School and High School twirlers were 
among the 481 performers present during the pregame show and joined 
other high school bands during the halftime performance. The students 
performed in front of an estimated 35,000 fans in Raymond James 
Stadium, the home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
  The twirlers were invited to participate in the game day programming 
through the National Youth Dance and Twirling Program. Stephanie Ford, 
the Central Mountain High School twirling coach, provided choreography 
for the twirlers. Stephanie has been the high school and middle school 
coach for 11 years and was pivotal in making and helping the students 
learn the choreography ahead of the performance.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the Central Mountain Middle School and 
High School twirlers on this fantastic achievement. I thank them for 
representing Pennsylvania's 15th Congressional District on a national 
stage.
