CONGRATULATING THE STOCKTON HIGH SCHOOL CHORAL AND INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC
DEPARTMENT FOR WINNING THE IHSA CLASS C MUSIC SWEEPSTAKES

HON. CHERI BUSTOS
of illinois
in the house of representatives
Friday, August 13, 2021
Mrs. BUSTOS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Stockton High School Choral and Instrumental Music Department for taking 1st place in the IHSA Class C Music Sweepstakes.
The IHSA Music Sweepstakes is an annual competition that judges solo and ensemble performances based on tone, technique, performance, creativity and other metrics. The exceptional performance of the students secured Stockton's first Class C State Championship, having already won seven Class D Championships over the last ten years. It gives me great pleasure to see these students thriving in school and with their peers despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
It is because of driven and dedicated individuals such as these students that I am especially proud to serve Illinois' 17th Congressional District. Madam Speaker, I would like to again formally congratulate the Stockton High School Choral and Instrumental Music Department on being named Class C State Champions. I commend their hard work and perseverance, and I am very proud to be their Representative.
