The U.S. Army All-American Marching Band

The U.S. Army All-American Bowl is the premier high school football game in the nation. Produced by SportsLink, it features the nation's top high school senior football players and marching musicians. If selected as an All-American, students receive a paid trip to San Antonio to march in the halftime performance of the All-American Bowl at the Alamodome. The students are honored in a national selection tour and receive extensive media recognition. In its third year, there are already over 1,000 nominations for this prestigious honor. Students are selected through a blind, recorded audition process with consideration to grades and extra-curricular activities. Contact Pierre Beelendorf for more information at MENC, 1-800-336-3768.
