The Scholar's Bowl activity is open to all interested AHS students. For those students who desire creative expression through the study of drama, a semester's course in Dramatics is offered. Stage Production and Interpretation are stressed. Students learn the elementary principles of stage setting and lighting, acting, make-up, costuming, characterization, and pantomime. A little time is spent on one-act plays which are presented for assemblies, churches, and organizations.
Every student has a chance to appear in at least one play.
The instrumental music program in the high school provides the opportunity for all who have serious desires to learn to play an instrument. Marching Band, Regular Band, and Jazz Ensemble allow opportunity for study on any instrument and at any level. The school takes a great deal of pride in the past and present accomplishments of its band which, in addition to a number of concerts played during the year, participates at football and basketball games. Excellent facilities for both instrumental and choral music provide each division with a beautifully designed room, adjoining soundproofed practice rooms, and adequate storage facilities. Our vocal music department consists of two large choruses and an Ensemble.
