Opening with the school in 1998, the O'Connor High School Orchestra is celebrating it's 24th year in existence. We have 4 performing orchestras that make up the group: Varsity Full Orchestra, Non-Varsity Orchestra, Sub Non-Varsity A Concert Orchestra, and the Sub Non-Varsity B String Orchestra. We have an ever expanding program of more than 100 talented musicians.
​
     The O'Connor HS Orchestra has constantly received accolades, every year we have received the highest ratings at the University Interscholastic League (UIL) Concert & Sight-Reading Evaluation competitions each year.  The group also consistently performs as a Symphony Orchestra combining with the woodwinds, brass, and percussion sections of the O'Connor Marching Band. Together, they perform high-quality repertoire at a high level of musicality. Every year, students have participated in the UIL Solo & Ensemble competition, dozens of students throughout the year have received superior rating and have gone onto compete at the State level. We hope to keep these successes a long-lasting tradition.
​
     We are fortunate at O'Connor High School to have dedicated students, teachers, administration, staff, and parents. The strong sense of community is something unseen anywhere else.
