The Jackson Orchestra program consists of three separate orchestras: Chamber, Concert, and Beginner.
Each orchestra meets and has daily rehearsals in school, and no matter which orchestra they are in, students take their instruments home to practice. Chamber Orchestra students are required to stay after school for any scheduled sectionals, rehearsals, and/or guided practice sessions.
All Orchestra Students are expected to prepare for and attend several contests throughout the year. (Region Orchestra, Pre-UIL Clinic, UIL Competition, and Solo & Ensemble)
