Chamber Strings

The Alton H.S. Chamber Strings is open to any string player in the AHS orchestra program. The Chamber Strings performs for weddings, banquets and other events in the Alton - Godfrey Community. Funds raised from these performances go back into the AHS orchestra program and fund scholarships for the students.

Chamber Strings rehearses every Wednesday from 3:15 - 4:00.

Students are expected to attend all rehearsals and performances.

Anyone interested in booking the ensemble for your event contact: Laura Plummer, 474-6967.

Pit Orchestra

THE PIT accompanies the annual Alton H.S. spring musical. Winds, brass and percussionists are taken from Symphonic Orchestra winds, brass and percussion. Strings audition for open spots. We rehearse twice a week and then everyday/evening two weeks out from the show. It takes time, and it's hard, but we have a lot of fun in the process.
