Parsippany Color Guard Standout Named to U.S. Army All-American Marching Band

Brianna Kelley is a standout member of the Parsippany High School color guard. And her efforts are being recognized nationally.

Kelley was recently named to the 2016 U.S. Army All-American Bowl Selection, and joins a team of 125 high school band members across the United States to perform during halftime of the 2016 U.S. Army All-American Bowl on NBC at the Alamodome on Saturday, Jan. 9, 2016 at 1 p.m.

Kelley will be honored on Tuesday, Sept. 22 during a special recognition event at Parsippany High School, where she’ll receive her honorary jacket in front of family, friends, fellow band members and classmates.

The event will begin at 5 p.m.

“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,” the selection team said in a statement.

The Sept. 22 event is open to the public.
