We welcome all wind, string and percussion instruments with no audition required. This is a fun, low-stress atmosphere if you want to play more classical pieces composed for concert band settings. We rehearse one night a week and perform two concerts each year, including a winter concert (Chrismas and classical pieces) and a spring concert (pop tunes and medleys from popular video games/movies). Concert Choir
We perform a wide range of choral music - from classical to Broadway to contemporary - and hold a solo concert at the end of each semester. This can be taken as an elective course. Jazz Ensemble
This is an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of improvisation while also playing in a section using sheet music. We perform onstage at the Rogers Center for the Arts twice a year and at other events on campus. This can be taken as an elective course. Mackapella
Our student-run a cappella group performs the best of contemporary vocal arrangements at a variety of events during the academic year. Membership is by audition. Marching Band

This is a liturgical music ensemble that performs at campus Mass and chapel services, as well as at interfaith events. We are open to all singers and instrumentalists in the Merrimack community. This may be taken as an elective course. Pep Band

We perform at all men’s and women’s Division I home and playoff hockey games, as well as Homecoming weekend and select football and basketball games. With pop music that ranges from OneRepublic’s Counting Stars to Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves, we create a fun and exciting atmosphere.
