Benjamin Morgan, who plays trumpet, was chosen from among thousands of high school juniors who applied through their band directors. Each applicant submitted a performance video. In addition to the 99 musicians, a committee for the bowl game also selected 25 color guard members and a drum major.

Band members will spend a week in Texas and be paired with a member of the U.S. Army Band. The game will be broadcast on NBC.
