West Henderson High trombone player William Hinchliffe has been accepted into the U. S. Army All-American Marching Band.

He is one of 125 top marching band members from across the United States who will play at the Alamo Bowl on January 3, 2015.

William will receive an all-expenses paid trip to San Antonio, Texas for bowl week. 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.

The U.S. Army All-American Marching Band has been a fixture at the U.S Army All-American Bowl since 2008. The National Association for Music Education in cooperation with All-American Games and Drum Corps International selects the 125 band members. Interested students audition during the spring of their junior year and find out about their selection in July the following summer.
