                       Tuesday, October 30, 2001

  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
accomplishments of the Blue Springs South Jaguar Pride Marching Band 
and the Band Director John Robichaud.
  The band, under the leadership and direction of Mr. Robichaud, was 
selected to participate in the Tournament of Roses Parade on January 1, 
2002. Being selected to perform on the national stage is a tremendous 
honor. Their hard work and dedication will be an excellent 
representation of the people in the Sixth Congressional District.
  All the students, parents, teachers, and administrators at Blue 
Springs South High School should take pride in this commendable 
achievement. This outstanding band is deserving of all the accolades it 
receives.
  I commend Ronald Okum, Tournament of Roses President and the rest of 
the selection committee for selecting the Jaguar Pride Marching Band 
and once again congratulate Mr. Robichaud and the students of the Blue 
Springs South Band for their dedication and hard work. You make the 
sixth district proud.
