About Us

About the Mersey Band The Mersey Band has been a part of the musical scene in Liverpool since 1948!  Although we have a wide range of ages and skill levels in the band, we have the common goal of making great music together and having fun!  The Band meets every Tuesday night from 7:00- 9:00 p.m. at the Milton Community Hall in Milton. We perform at parades, concerts, services and functions along the South Shore.  Each summer we hold a week- long student and adult band camp. The Band also runs a year -long training program for anyone interested in joining the band, regardless of age or musical background.  We welcome anyone who would like to join! We play a variety of musical styles and provide an opportunity for musicians to enjoy making music in a friendly, supportive environment.  We are a volunteer organization. The Mersey Band raises money through fundraising activities, sponsorship from local service groups and a grant from the Region of Queens. The Band supplies members with instruments, music and uniforms. Members are required to attend rehearsals and performances, learn music and have fun!
