Josh Remillard has been selected for the 2013 All Star Invitational Marching Band.  He was part of All Star Marching Band as a trumpet player. The All Star Invitational Marching Band unites talented performers from around the country by offering them the opportunity to showcase their 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.

Josh 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.  Josh joined other performers from the United States for two performances at one of the biggest games in college football, the Discover Orange Bowl.

All Stars came together for six days in Florida to practice and prepare for the performances. This exciting week included the opportunity to work with the nation’s leading marching band directors and culminated in not one, but two performances on one of the biggest stages in college football – the Orange Bowl! The 2013 directors include 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.
