The deadline to apply for the 2008 All-American Marching Band has been extended to May 25 to coincide with the All-American football player announcements happening at this time. Many musicians have already been identified as strong candidates for the All-American Musician positions, BUT if you prove to be more qualified, you may have the chance to earn those spots already filled or to be selected for positions still open.

Audition materials must be postmarked by May 25 to be considered. You need to be a current Junior in High School, and WILL BE a Senior in High School in January of 2008.

Full information, application, and audition music are available on the MENC Web site at www.menc.org/allamerican. You can also call the MENC office at 800-336-3768 with questions or requests.
