What IS the MCCGA?

Who We Are

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.

Strong Foundation

The MCCGA began in the fall of 1993 as a group effort of several Missouri winter guard directors. There was a general concern about the consistency of judging in winter guard competitions and a desire to grow the activity around the state. That first winter of 1994 saw the first contests organized by MCCGA with judges that had been trained by Marie Czapniski (WGI GE judge).

Striving to Be the Best

Following WGI’s philosophy of using competition as a means of bringing out the best in our students and directors, MCCGA’s objective is to support an educational environment which fosters growth for the performers, instructors, designers and judging communities within MCCGA and to promote color guard and percussion festivals, thereby perpetuating the pageantry activity and effectiveness for the member units.

Amazing Growth

Entering our 15th season now, our membership continues to grow in quantity and quality. With over 100 members, we are becoming one of the largest pageantry organizations in the country and many of those units are achieving tremendous success on the regional and national level.

Be a Part of Our Journey!

We hope you will accept our sincere invitation to be a part of MCCGA – As a fan, a performer, an instructor, a director, or as a judge. Together, we hope to continue to make a positive impact on the activity and the young people we serve for at least another 15 years!
