History
The Capital City Marching Festival began in 1993 and has been hosted by several Austin-area high schools throughout its history. Since 2001, the Liberal Arts and Science Academy (LASA) has played an active role as host or co-host, proudly continuing CapCity’s mission to showcase the talent, hard work, and creativity of student musicians from across Central Texas.
At the heart of CapCity is the belief that all high school bands deserve opportunities to perform, connect, and grow. We’re honored to welcome some of the most passionate and talented marching bands in the state, and to celebrate the effort and commitment put forth by thousands of students, directors, and families.
Beyond the music and the shows, CapCity is about community. It’s about the shared energy, camaraderie, and spirit that make the marching arts such a powerful experience. We hope your memories of CapCity stay with you throughout your musical journey—and beyond.
