The marching band is one of many programs in which Jackson County finds pride. During football season, the band's primary focus is improving the halftime show and competing in two or three marching festivals a year. Under the direction of Miles and Helen Adams, the band has received superiors at marching festivals, such as Mid-South in Gadsden, Alabama and the Greater Atlanta Marching Festival. The band devotes much of its fall season to marching band but once football season is over, they switch their focus to concert literature. The band offers three classes for participation: Concert Band, Symphonic Band, and Wind Ensemble. Concert band is the entry-level band class. Symphonic Band is the mid-level band class, and Wind Ensemble is a group of the band's most talented students.
