Extracurricular Musical Opportunities

Chamber Ensemble Groups at Mercer

This optional, extra-curricular activity is designed to allow students to rehearse and learn in small groups. Rehearsals will take place on Wednesday mornings. Our Mercer Chamber Ensembles will perform on a concert in the Winter, Spring, and at Solo and Ensemble. 

District Band Auditions, District Band Event

 This is an auditioned event where selected Loudoun County students participate in ensemble rehearsals and concert led by a guest conductor. Preparing for this event is a great musical experience for students and it is an honor for those students whom are selected to participate. While after-school help sessions are provided at Mercer, private lessons with professional musicians are highly encouraged to prepare for this recommended audition process. More information will be provided in the beginning of the school year during class time. 

Solo and Ensemble

Mercer band students are highly encouraged to participate in this event. Students in our Chamber Ensemble Program are expected to participate. Students can prepare solos or small group pieces with other students in band. Participating students receive feedback from professional musicians, a rating, and medal. After-school help sessions will be provided for students.  Private lessons with professional musicians are also highly encouraged to help students prepare solos. More information about the Solo and Ensemble Festival will be provided in the second or third quarter of this upcoming school year.
