Now in its third year, the U.S. Army All-American Marching Band returns to perform during halftime of the U.S. Army All-American Bowl. The U.S. Army All-American Marching Band features 97 of the finest high school senior marching musicians from across the country.

The U.S. Army All-American Marching Band recognizes the nation's leading high school musicians who demonstrate the U.S. Army core values of loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honesty, integrity and personal courage. Like the character of an Army Strong Soldier and the U.S. Army All-American football players, the national selection of All-American band members is based on a broad range of attributes: musical accomplishment, academic achievement, leadership abilities, and community service. The U.S. Army All-American Marching Band is a top-tier validation of their accomplishments.
