MCCB

MCCB has been holding spring and fall concerts for almost 20 years.

Our usual concert venue is the Missoula Childrens Theatre

All of our concerts are free, although we encourage donations to help offset the costs of music, professional services, and venue expenses.

We play a wide variety of concert band music. In addition to the standard concert band fare, we often include classical adaptations, jazz numbers, and pieces which feature soloists from within the band.
