Welcome to the HOUSEPAGE, brought to you by thecoolrays.com
This page is devoted to news about Chula Vista High School's Guitar Ensemble, the
HOUSE of GUITARS.

The House of Guitars was formed in 2002 by its director, Jeff Williams. They are the elite performing group of the guitar program at SCPA Chula Vista, which serves over 250 guitar students between Chula Vista middle and high schools. Groups of this kind are virtually nonexistent at the high school level.
This year the group will be celebrating its tenth anniversary!
The group performs arrangements in much the same way a string ensemble or wind ensemble would, with guitars divided into 2, 3 or 4 parts all playing together at the same time. They play anything and everything, from classical, jazz and Broadway to classic rock. The name "House of Guitars" comes from the name of a store in Irondequoit, New York, which is actually an old three-story house where they sell...well, you get the idea. Every city should have a store like that.

WHAT'S NEW?
House of Guitars, along with CVM Guitars, recently purchased a new P.A. system with money raised solely from concert ticket sales! No candy bars, no car washes, no gift wrap, cookies, pizza, no anything like that! So, if you can hear us at the next concert, it's thanks to all of you who bought a ticket and came out to one of our concerts. Visit this page for updates...tell people about it! Spread the word!
