Meeting Tonight-January 28th

Just a reminder about tonight's Royal Guardians meeting at 7 pm!  We will be meeting in the band room at the main campus.  If you have a student in ANY of the HSEHS/FC band programs then YOU are a Royal Guardian and we encourage you to join us!

"The Want To Rule"!!!

Over the weekend, the HSE Winter Guard traveled to Zionsville High School for their first competition.  The title of the show is “the Want to Rule.”  The performing members started the 2015 year with great energy!!  The crowd reaction was amazing.  They were supporting HSE from the minute the show started and stayed into to it until that last note of the show.  The Winter Guard only performed a part of their show and will continue working on getting more of the show done over the next two weeks.  Their next competition is not until Saturday, February 7.  I would like to thank all of the parent support that we had!!  Without the help of the parent prop crew, led by Mr. Anderson and Mr. Mooney, we would not have gotten on and off the floor!!!  Love seeing all the HSE love and support.  I am very proud to be associated with this group!!  GO HSE!!!
