State Prelims This Saturday!

“What an exciting weekend for the HSE Winter Guard.  They placed 3^rd and received a score of 72.5 (up 10 points from the Greenwood Contest the previous Saturday!)!  Homestead won the contest with a score of 76.4 and Greenwood was second by a score of 73.6.  That was the last regular season contest of the season.  This week we perform at Decatur Central for the IHSCGA State Prelims Event.  This will be the first time that all 12 Open Class Winter Guards will be together.  HSE performs at 5:51pm.  We would love to have as many supporters as we can at the contest to help cheer us on!!

Friday is the Community Night Performance.  This night is a favorite night for all the students to get to perform for a great home crowd.  We can’t wait to see all the talent right here in the Hamilton Southeastern School District.  The performances begin at 7:30pm and take place in the main gym at HSE.”

Safety Issue

Your directors would like to remind all students and parents that there should not be anyone driving behind the school (in between school and stadium) for drop off for practices.  This is a safety concern due to the current construction.  Please remember to use Door 13.

Successful Showing!

This weekend both Winter Percussion Ensembles traveled to Carroll High School in Ft. Wayne Indiana, despite the weather and a one hour delay in the show, everything ran very smoothly. IMPACT had their debut performance. They played well and had a very entertaining performance finishing 3^rd in their class. HIPE had their 2^nd performance of the season and came in first. Both groups will be off next weekend as we continue improve. Be sure to check us out at the community night on March 6^th! Both groups will return to competition on March 7^th at Greenfield High School.

Want To Get More Involved???

We have two urgent needs for volunteers:

Fundraising Chairperson

Are you able to complete forms?  Can you do internet searching?  Are you able to communicate instructions?  If yes, you have all the skills you would need to organize our fundraising efforts.  We are getting new uniforms this year for the Royal Command and Guard and require fundraising to meet our obligations.  You will not be alone in this effort as there will be a team of people that will help you coordinate fundraising.  Please contact Mike Mullen at 765-506-4678 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it if you are interested in this position or if you have any questions.

Royal Invitational Co-Chairperson

We are in need of someone who can coordinate the chairpersons for the Royal Invitational.  This contest is our single largest fundraiser and needs everyone’s help to succeed.  There are many committees that have chair people coordinate all the various functions.  However, we need a Co-Chair to help coordinate the chairpersons and make sure everything goes smoothly.  Although the Royal Invitational is not until September, we need to start planning now in order to make this a successful event.  Please contact Mike Mullen at 765-506-4678 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , if you are interested in this position or have questions.
