Produced by All American Games, this Bowl features the nation's top high school senior football players and marching musicians. Students selected as one of the 125 U.S. Army All-American Marching Band (USAAAMB) members receives an all-expenses-paid trip to San Antonio, TX to march in the halftime performance of the All-American Bowl at the Alamodome.

The National Association for Music Education (NAfME) is the official selection partner of the United States Army All-American Marching Band and partners with title sponsor, the U.S. Army, along with Drum Corps International and All-American Games.

Craig Manteuffel, Aislinn's high school band director said, "Aislinn had an awesome experience and made friends from all over the nation.
