HIP consists of the percussion (battery) and front ensemble (pit) sections of a marching band. Indoor percussion marries elements of music performance, marching, and theatre. Most indoor percussion groups are affiliated with a high school, although there are many independent groups as well.
The season runs from mid-November through mid-April, rehearses 3 times per week with some Saturdays. Performances and rehearsals are usually held in a gymnasium. Students complete compete in the Rocky Mountain Percussion Association (RMPA) circuit in the Denver metro area. For more information on the circuit check them out HERE.
Students who wish to be involved in percussion must be enrolled in one of the concert bands or the percussion class. Even those with little percussion experience are encouraged to participate!
It is a lot of work and a big commitment, but the camaraderie within the group is priceless. HIP provides a way for members to maintain their skills during the winter months and a place to grow together as a community, learn new techniques, and create lifelong friendships.
If you’d like more info about HIP, or have a kid considering percussion in high school, contact Cole Jackson (Percussion Director) at colejackson711@gmail.com or Evan Allenson (Band Director at Heritage)

HIP is a very welcoming group. You and your family are welcome to come watch any of their rehearsals or attend any of their performances. We hope to see you there!
