There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

At the start of every fall semester, those interested in participating in the new bands showcase are grouped up based on what instruments they can play, and what genres they like. On November 8th and 9th a battle of the bands will begin, of all varieties of music, with four bands moving on to the final round on the 16th. Bands are competing for the chance to record an EP with free professional assistance from members of the Musician's Network Studio.
