History of the Georgia Mass Band, Inc.

Georgia Mass Band, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2016 by four visionary musicians—Antonio Alexander, Elijah Thompson, Matthew Buggs, and Marcus Cummings—who met through their shared experiences at Jackson State University (Jackson, MS). What started as a dream to create a judgment-free space for musicians to come together and perform has grown into a nationally recognized musical powerhouse.


Originally focused on Atlanta and its surrounding communities, Georgia Mass Band quickly expanded, attracting members from across the entire state—and eventually the nation. Today, the ensemble is a vibrant melting pot of talent, composed of passionate high school and collegiate musicians from prestigious institutions such as Jackson State, Southern University, Talladega College, Miles College, Alabama State, Albany State, UAPB, and many more.

Known for going viral across social media platforms, Georgia Mass Band has become critically acclaimed for its electrifying renditions of popular music, versatility, and show-stopping live performances. Our performances have reached millions online and have earned us a reputation as one of the most exciting and innovative ensembles in the country.


Over the years, we’ve performed alongside major artists such as Monica, French Montana, 21 Savage, and others—bringing high-energy, crowd-thrilling brass and percussion to stages and studios alike. Our group has participated in countless Battle of the Bands events across the nation, and we’ve proudly hosted several of our own in Georgia.


In addition to performing, Georgia Mass Band is home to one of the largest music scholarship fairs in the world, connecting students directly with HBCU band directors and unlocking life-changing educational opportunities. We’ve also give back by donating supplies to Metro-Atlanta schools and continue to uplift underserved communities through arts, education, and performance.

At our core, we are a community-driven organization that champions excellence, opportunity, and cultural pride. We exist to create safe, empowering, and inspiring spaces for young musicians to thrive—and we’re just getting started.


Our Mission:

The Georgia Mass Band, Inc. strives to offer musicians opportunities that enrich their artistic capabilities while promoting positivity, scholarship opportunities, and cultural awareness throughout the community.
