  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I would like to commend and 
congratulate the Clinton High School Attache Show Choir upon completing 
its outstanding 2004 competition season.
  The Clinton High School Attache Show Choir was formed in September 
1980, by Winona Costello. Since 1992, Attache has been led and directed 
by David and Mary Fehr; the instrumental pit under the direction of 
Robert Allen; the crew under the direction of Wesley Quick.
  Attache was named Grand Champion of the Benton Community High School 
``Touch of Class'' competition held in Van Home, Iowa on February 14, 
2004. Attache also received the Best Vocals, Best Choreography, Most 
Creative Show, and Best Male (Trey Finch) and Female (Jan Jefcoat) 
Soloist awards. Dexter Bishop was named the outstanding performer from 
Attache.
  Attache was named Grand Champion of the Homewood High School ``South 
Central Classic'' competition held in Homewood, Alabama on February 21, 
2004. Attache also received the Best Vocals, Best Choreography, and 
Best Overall Effect awards. Attache was named Grand Champion of the 
Mixed Show Choir at the MIC Choral Competition held at North Central 
High School in Indianapolis, Indiana on March 20, 2004. Attache also 
received the Best Vocals and Best Choreography awards.
  Attache was honored to be selected as the host choir for the Show 
Choir Nationals Competition held March 27, 2004, at the Grand Ole Opry 
in Nashville, Tennessee. The 2004 Senior Class of Attache is 
undefeated, having earned Grand Champion honors at every competition at 
which they competed during their three years of performing.
  It is with great pride that we recognize the contributions of this 
national and internationally known musical group which has brought 
honor and acclaim to Clinton High School, the Clinton community, and to 
the State of Mississippi.
