MusicConcert Band
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 (Christmas and classical pieces) and a spring concert (pop tunes and medleys from popular video games/movies). This can be taken as an elective course. Concert Choir
The Concert Choir sings a full range of SATB ( Soprano Alto Tenor Bass) vocal music, from classical to spirituals to non-Western songs to pop. It is the oldest student organization on campus, established in fall 1947. Merrimack College has a rich tradition of choral music, with choirs taking a leading role at ceremonies on and off campus, including singing at the Vatican for Saint John Paul II. 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.
