The Montana State University Billings Yellowjacket Music Showcase will be held Thursday, November 6, 2025 at 8:00 am to 3:00 pm located at Cisel Hall and Petro Theatre on MSUB's campus.  Regional Montana bands and choirs are invited to perform before a faculty adjudicator.  We look forward to presenting a showcase recital for our attendees featuring MSUB faculty and student performances.

This unique, educational event is designed to provide students with the opportunity to perform in front of our expert faculty and receive immediate, personalized feedback—whether they’re part of a band, jazz band, choir, combo, modern band, or performing as soloists.
 
The Yellowjacket Music Showcase offers a non-competitive, supportive environment where students from all musical genres and groupings can learn, grow, and improve their performance skills. Whether they’re preparing for an upcoming concert, festival, or simply looking to enhance their musicianship, our faculty’s constructive feedback will help them take the next step in their musical development.
