Mission & Vision

The Georgia Marching Band Collective is dedicated to elevating the marching arts across the state of Georgia. Our mission is to foster growth and artistic excellence among Georgia’s marching bands, helping each program become the best band that it can be. Please consider joining us in the pursuit of excellence, and let’s march to success together.


What We Do

The Georgia MBC is a season-long circuit of marching band competitions with all events using the same rule book, the same prelims/finals format, the same state of the art judging system, and the nation’s best judges. All shows are members of the Music for All Affiliate program and aim to help bands across the state reach their fullest potential.


Our Distinctive Approach

As the first of its kind in Georgia, our organization stands apart by offering bands a clear and consistent experience at each event. We focus on producing high-quality events, prioritizing the artistic and educational aspects of the marching band experience.


Who We Serve

We serve bands across the state of Georgia with a shared commitment to excellence, helping them achieve state-of-the-art performance standards and the ability to compete regionally and nationally with the finest bands in America.


Our Focus

Excellence and consistency in all that we do. We work tirelessly to ensure that the Georgia MBC is the catalyst for Georgia bands’ rise to the apex of the marching arts.
