The U.S. Army All-American Bowl, produced by SportsLink, is the premier high school football game in the nation. It features the nation's top 80 high school senior football players, and thanks to the National Association for Music Education, the 91 finest high school senior marching musicians.

The 2009 All-American Marching Band will offer this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to America's most accomplished student marching musicians. The finest applicants will be nationally recognized through awards, media, and performance as "All-Americans," just like their athletic counterparts.

The student musicians selected as All-Americans will receive airfare, lodging, and meals along with the privilege of performing together in January 2009 at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.

Musicians who will be high school seniors in January 2009 may apply by the deadline on January 21, 2008.
