PARSIPPANY — The 2016 U.S. Army All-American Bowl Selection Tour will visit Parsippany High School on Tuesday, September 22 at 5:00 p.m. to honor Brianna Kelley before her fellow band members, classmates, fans and family during a special recognition event.
The U.S. Army All-American Marching Band performs at halftime of the nationally-broadcasted U.S. Army All-American Bowl. By becoming a U.S. Army All-American Marching Band Member, these students join an elite group. Only 125 high school band members among the millions in the United States are selected each year. Band members are chosen not just because they excel in music, but because they possess some of the same skills as our Army Soldiers – skills such as versatility and agility.
Brianna Kelley, Color Guard, is recognized as a member of the U.S. Army All-American Marching Band and will receive her honorary jacket in front of family, friends, fellow band members and classmates.
The honor will take place at Parsippany High School, 309 Baldwin Road.

The 2015 U.S. Army All-American Bowl drew a crowd of 35,687 to the Alamodome, and was the most-watched sporting event on television over the weekend, excluding the NFL playoffs.
