The McKinney Community Band, created in 2006, provides McKinney and Collin County communities with quality wind band concerts that are always free to attend and family-friendly. We pride ourselves on holding high-quality performances that delight our audiences. We also have two smaller ensembles, the Flute Choir and the McKinney Dance Band, which provide additional performances throughout the community by performing in venues too small for the full concert band. This allows us to provide music to people who may have difficulty getting to one of our concerts and provide additional music opportunities for our members and audiences.

Community Outreach via Public & Private Performances
The Dance Band honors U.S. veterans and active military each year with two special concerts for Veteran's Day and Armed Forces Day and the Flute Choir performs at arts events and weddings in the community. In addition to our community outreach through our performances, the MCB provides a scholarship for band students in the McKinney ISD as we use schools for rehearsals. We also have taken part in the three International Make Music Days when members of the band performed in public areas to promote public music on the first day of summer, June 21.
Education Outreach to Local Band Students
MCB's Education Outreach program provides a positive view of music as a life-long activity to young local band students. The McKinney Dance Band has performed alongside students at Scott Johnson Middle School and McKinney High School to help their Jazz Band programs and help raise awareness and funds for the school's music programs.
OUR NEEDS
Funding is needed to help with percussion and instrument purchases, music purchases, guest artist expenses, venue rental, and operational (transportation, storage, marketing, etc.) expenses.
We also need volunteers to assist as ushers, equipment set up, music library organization, and more. Please fill out our Volunteer Interest form online if you'd like us to contact you or you need additional information about our volunteer needs.
Now in our 20th Season
Our audiences continue to grow each season at concerts filled with great classic band and jazz literature. Watch our website for details of upcoming concerts, held four times a year in McKinney schools and a church in Plano.
Opening our 21st Season
We will be opening our 21st season on Oct. 3 at 7 p.m. with a FREE concert at the Robinson Fine Arts Center (Plano ISD), 1800 Alma Dr, Plano, TX 75075. This concert will feature some challenging band repertoire, the launch of our new organization logo, and a reception catered by Hugs Cafe in McKinney.
