McLennan Community College Highlands Festival
2027 information coming soon!
The MCC Highlands Band Festival is held at the newly renovated Wilbur A. Ball Performing Arts Center on the McLennan Community College campus in Waco, Texas. Open to all school bands, the festival offers an ideal opportunity to perform in a professional concert hall environment, whether as a pre-UIL run-through or as part of a comprehensive performance assessment experience.
Participating ensembles will receive a high-quality video recording of their performance, along with detailed written and verbal adjudication from experienced clinicians. Each ensemble will also participate in an on-stage clinic immediately following their performance, providing focused, practical feedback that can be directly applied in rehearsal.
We look forward to welcoming you and your students to campus for a meaningful and efficient festival experience. For more information, visit https://www.mclennan.edu/
