Preston MS Orchestras
Jazz Orchestra 2019-2020
Preston Jazz Orchestra is in it's seventh year at Preston. It is an audition - only orchestra that meets on Thursdays after school from 3:05 - 4:20 every week. The goal of the group is to primarily meet two objectives: 1. To create a group that challenges students; 2. To introduce jazz and its concepts to the string orchestra.
