                          HON. JEB HENSARLING

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 6, 2005

  Mr. HENSARLING. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to honor the Poteet 
High School Pirate Marching Band for their recent victory at the 
University Interscholastic League State AAAA Marching Band 
Championship. On November 8, 2005, the Pirates competed against more 
than 20 other bands from across the State of Texas and won their second 
State Championship since 1997.
  I would like to recognize the students and directors of the Poteet 
Pirates Marching Band, especially director Scott Coulson. Scott Coulson 
has been a strong role model and exceptional leader for the Poteet 
Pirates Marching Band.
  As the Congressional representative of the students, parents, and 
teachers involved with the Poteet High School Marching Band, it is my 
pleasure to recognize their tremendous victory. This is an 
accomplishment that these young men and women will remember for years 
to come.
