Mt. SAC Band and Orchestra Festival
About the Mt SAC Band and Orchestra Festival
The Mt. SAC Band & Orchestra Festival offers a structured performance and clinic experience in a professional concert setting. Each ensemble is scheduled for a 20-minute warm-up, 20-minute performance, and 20-minute clinic with Mt. SAC faculty clinicians, and receives written and recorded feedback, a performance rating, and a high-quality performance video. Warm-ups are held in the M200 Rehearsal Room, and registration is $200 per ensemble. Please submit a separate registration form for each performing group.
We encourage ensembles to remain on campus to hear the group performing immediately after them. This shared experience helps foster a sense of community among participating schools and gives students the opportunity to perform for a live, supportive audience—an important part of building confidence and pride in their work.
