Senior Irvin Mejia was honored last week for his selection to the U.S. Army All-American High School Bowl Marching Band.

Mejia is one of only 125 high school musicians in the nation to be selected for this prestigious performance group, which will perform at halftime of the U.S. Army All-American High School Bowl Game in San Antonio on Jan. 5.

Typically a marching band has only one guitar player in the front ensemble, so that means that  he  is the only guitarist chosen for this group this year, according to teacher Kati McKee, director of the marching band program.
