Student Athletic Board members plan to attend training session

Student Athletic Board plans to begin their visits to elementary schools after the members attend a training session located in Washington Township on Oct. 30.

Sponsor Jennifer Marlow said that there will be multiple schools meeting there for the training. “This is a statewide program and the NCAA plans to take it nationally,” she said.

According to Marlow, the members have not gone to a training in previous years, but the sponsors decided that it is necessary for the large number of members who are new to the group. “Many of the senior members graduated this year. This will help the members learn more about the RICHER principle that we use and also teach them how to give presentations to elementary students,” Marlow said.

The RICHER principle is an acronym that stands for respect, integrity, caring, harmony, excellence and responsibility according to Marlow. Throughout the school year, the students visit their assigned elementary school six times during SRT. They incorporate one part of this principle into each visit. This year Marlow said her goal is to incorporate as many elementary schools as possible into the program.

Samantha Champion, competitive cheerleader on the board and senior, said that this is her first year in the program. “I got involved for the kids and am looking forward to being a role model,” she said.

Student Athletic Board meets during SRT in their sponsor’s room. This year the students will be in sponsor Gabe Johnson’s room during SRT for the first semester. He said that this is his first year helping with the program, but that he was involved in it in college. “I am excited to watch them go out and seeing them get involved in the community and give back,” he said.

Marching band prepares for ISSMA regional championship

By: Nancy Tan <ntan@hilite.org>

This Saturday, the marching will participate in the Indiana State School Music Association (ISSMA) regional championships. Senior Scott Williamson, who has played baritone in the marching band for two years, said that the band is diligently preparing for the competition. “We’re doing what we always do—practicing before and after school, working on fundamentals and perfecting the details of the show,” Williamson said.

Michael Pote, associate director of bands, said the band does not know where it is at competitively compared with other schools since the group has yet to compete at the state circuit.

“Everyone is working hard right now. (We’re) trying to get as good as we can,” Pote said. “We don’t stress competition. We don’t even think of competition. We just stress being as good as we can.”

According to Pote, the theme for marching band this year is boundaries. The show, featuring original music by Richard Saucedo, tries to create different ways to portray the concept of breaking through boundaries on the field.

Williamson said that learning the routine is an ongoing process and that more details will be added to the show as the year goes on. “I think we’re still learning, but hopefully we’ll be able to putt it off,” he said. “I’m excited to see what we can do. I think we have a lot of potential.”
