David Siems, a student at Skyline High School, was selected for the 2013 All Star Invitational Marching Band.

He will participate in the All Star Marching Band playing the mellophone. Uniting talented performers from around the country, the All Star Band offers the opportunity to showcase skills at a national marching event, and interact with a team of nationally recognized marching directors. Participation in the All Star Invitational Marching Band is limited to the finest high school performers from across North America.

David auditioned for the All Star Band, and was accepted after a review by the Selection Review Board. Acceptance to the elite group is a direct result of the talent, dedication and achievements demonstrated in his application and audition videos. David will join other performers from the United States for two performances at one of the biggest games in college football—the Discover Orange Bowl, on Friday, Jan. 3, 2014.

David studies music with Jennifer McQuade, and is a member of the Skyline Marching Band, Honors Band and Jazz Band. Additionally, he is an Eagle Scout, from Boy Scouts of America Troop 301, and participated in the Arizona Ambassadors for Music group last summer as they travelled to several European countries to perform and represent the state of Arizona.

All Stars will come together for six days in Florida to practice and prepare for the performances. This exciting week includes the opportunity to work with the nation’s leading marching band directors and culminates in not one, but two performances on one of the biggest stages in college football—the Orange Bowl.

The 2013 directors included Dr. Kenneth Dye, director of bands, University of Notre Dame; Barry Bernhardt, director of bands, Florida International University; James Hudson, marching band director, Arizona State University; Norm Ruebling, acclaimed percussion educator; and Wes Cartwright.

The All Star Invitational Marching Band combines the skill of the country’s best marching students with the excitement of performing in front of nearly 75,000 fans. Each year, the group brings together the most talented high school marching band performers to work with the biggest names in the marching profession as they showcase their skills at prestigious national events.
