The Big Orange Chorus meets weekly under the direction of a talented music and director team.  Visitors are always welcome, and Chorus membership is open to singers of all ages, and no experience is required.  We meet every Thursday night from 7:00pm to 9:00pm.  There are occasional exceptions to the time and location of rehearsals as we prepare for performances, contests, etc. Please check the schedule posted on this web site (our Chorus Calendar) or call (904) 355-SING.

Our rehearsal hall is located at Shepherd of the Woods Lutheran Church in the heart of the Deerwood/Baymeadows area of Jacksonville, 1/2 mile north of Baymeadows Road and one mile South of J. Turner Butler Boulevard on the west side of Southside Boulevard. It is only accessible from the frontage road and has its own entrance between Southside Service Road and Farm Ridge Road.  The frontage road can only be entered from Southside Boulevard at Baymeadows Road, Old Baymeadows Road, or from Deerwood Park Boulevard. The parking lot and entrance to the hall are all the way in back of the church.  We think you will find the aerial photo and map, below, very helpful.

Please see the maps below for additional location information.  We usually post Big Orange signs around the entrance to help guide our singers and guests to the exact rehearsal location.

Rehearsal repertoire plans are usually outlined in the current issue of "Weekly Words."

Please plan your travel so that you will arrive early in case driving takes more time than expected.  This will help avoid interruptions and will allow you to attend and benefit from a full rehearsal.
