You are eligible to apply if you are between the ages of 18 and 25 (as at June 20th, 2025). In addition, you have (ideally*) participated for multiple years in either a college marching band programme, a high school programme, or both.

*If you don’t meet this criteria but feel you would still be a worthy All-American candidate, please email allamerican@londonbandweek.com

There are three phases:
Phase 1: application form submission
Phase 2: instrumental audition (by pre-recorded video, not live)
Phase 3: personal interview (online, live)
Application window is open until February 21st.

We will send you the instrumental audition criteria so that you can prepare well in advance.

The personal interview will consider your overall experience, interpersonal skills and values.

To complement your application, the selection panel will also require: 1 reference from someone (non family member) who knows your musical abilities; OR a letter of recommendation from your Band Director or Private Instructor.

We expect All-Americans to have their own instruments in London. Only sousaphones and percussion will be provided as standard. However, if you have an exceptional circumstance, please email allamerican@londonbandweek.com
