WEST JORDAN -- A Copper Hills High School student was selected Monday as one of the top marching band musicians in the nation.
Snare drummer Brennen Davis was named to the 2011 U.S. Army All-American Marching Band, which will perform during halftime at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl on Saturday, January 8, 2011, at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.
"The U.S. Army has a long musical history and being an Army musician is one option the All-American Bowl showcases to young Americans," said Col. Derik Crotts, Director of Strategic Communications, Marketing and Outreach, U.S. Army Accessions Command. "The mental, emotional and physical qualities necessary to be a successful band member are the same qualities mirrored in Army Strong Soldiers. We are proud to honor all of our U.S. Army All-American Band members and congratulate them on their selection."
The U.S. Army All-American Marching Band recognizes the top 125 high school senior marching musicians and color guard members from across the country.
Selected musicians are chosen by the U.S. Army All-American Marching Band Selection Committee consisting of The National Association for Music Education (MENC), Drum Corps International (DCI), Head Director and Show Coordinator Nola Jones, and All American Games.
Davis can be seen performing at halftime during the U.S. Army All-American Bowl televised live on NBC at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, January 8, 2011.
