PHS senior percussionist accepted into the 2018 U.S. Army All-American Marching Band

Congratulations to PHS senior percussionist, Ethan Laib, on his acceptance to the 2018 U.S. Army All-American Marching Band! The U.S. Army All-American Marching Band has been a fixture at the U.S Army All-American Bowl since 2008. Selected by the National Association for Music Education in cooperation with All American Games and Drum Corps International, the band features 125 top marching band members from across the United States. Students are nominated by their band director in the fall of their junior year, submit written and video application materials in the spring of their junior year and are notified of acceptance by NAfME in late July. Selected members receive an all-expenses paid trip to perform at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl Game in San Antonio, Texas, on January 6, 2018.

During bowl week, the band members receive instruction from top collegiate, high school and drum and bugle corps instructors from across the country, as well as educational sessions with members of the U.S. Army Field Band.

Congratulations Ethan! We are so proud of you!
