Beat Goes On For Indoor Percussion Ensemble

As we enter February, Harrison’s indoor percussion ensemble continues practicing and prepping for upcoming 2023 performances and competitions. 

The Harrison Indoor Percussion Ensemble (HIPE) dreamily is looking forward to a competition season that begins in February, at least in the metaphorical sense. That’s because the group’s 2023 competition show entitled “A World Entirely Your Own,” is based loosely on the concept of aspirational and sleep dreams.

The HIPE ensemble features one senior in 2023, Sierra Glosson, who is a four-year member of HIPE.

Wesley Hampton, 9

Owen Jones, 9
