What's MCCGA?
The Mid-Continent Color Guard Association (MCCGA) is a winter color guard and percussion circuit serving independent and scholastic guards and percussion lines from Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Iowa. Now entering our 15th year, the MCCGA offers an educational and competitive arena where young adults learn character building, confidence and professional skills for a lifetime.

Through equipment, movement and design, the MCCGA takes members and their audiences on life-changing journeys, discovering new talents, skills, friendships and accomplishments along the way. Read More on the Information page
