Percussion, Color Guard Competition Coming to Town

You will likely be able to feel the vibrations coming from Highland Regional High School while traveling along Blackwood Clementon Road two Saturdays from today.

OK. That may be a stretch, but suffice it to say there will be plenty of bass booms coming from the high school.

The school will host its eighth annual Tournament Indoor Association competition from 2 to 9 p.m. April 2.

Highland's drumline and indoor percussion ensemble, or HIPE, will be featured in the competition.

Funds raised will benefit the Highland groups' trip to the National Judges Association and Tournament Indoor Association Atlantic Coast Championships, which will be held in Wildwood April 29 through May 2.

More than 35 groups are scheduled to perform in the April 2 competition at Highland, bringing together hundreds of talented youth from the tri-state area.

Area high schools Triton, Timber Creek, Washington Township, Gloucester, Collingswood, Pennsauken, Eastern, Haddonfield and Haddon Heights will be among the schools represented in the competition.

Highland will be selling food and conducting basket raffles to raise money to offset costs associated with the Wildwood competition.
