John Patrickis one of this year’s Hewitt-Trussville High School marching band drum majors and has also served on the Student Council Association. He was nominated for application by American Legion SSG Michael Wesley Hosey Post 205 Clay-Trussville.

Typically, the program is held in the summer following the students’ junior year, but due to COVID-19, the weeklong program that is held on the campus of the University of Alabama was postponed.

Antkowiak and Campbell, along with the other delegates chosen for 2020, have been invited to participate in the summer of 2021.
