The Musical Arts Conference or MAC is a local circuit for marching band competitions, based in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. The conference was formed in 2001. Band class is arranged by the total number of instrumentalists (band proper, pit and percussion) and drum majors. The color guard is not included in the total number of performers (only for classification purposes). The smallest bands are assigned to Class 1 and the largest bands are assigned to Class 5, with a rubric to determine each class size.
In addition to marching band, MAC also hosts winter guard and winter percussion competitions. There are several classifications in both guard and percussion, which is broken up by the ability and talent of the units, and not by size.
