Traditions
Pipe Band: Helix's Scottish tradition is brought to life by the school's pipe and drum corps. The pipe band includes 12 pipers and 4 snare drummers, 2 tenor drummers, and one bass drummer. The band performs in the fall with the marching band in parades, and also marches the football team onto the field at Helix's home games. In the spring, the band performs frequently at paid as well as volunteer gigs.

Famous quotes containing the word traditions:
“I think a Person who is thus terrifyed [sic] with the Imagination of Ghosts and Spectres much more reasonable, than one who contrary to the Reports of all Historians sacred and profane, ancient and modern, and to the Traditions of all Nations, thinks the Appearance of Spirits fabulous and groundless.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
“And all the great traditions of the Past
They saw reflected in the coming time.
And thus forever with reverted look
The mystic volume of the world they read,
Spelling it backward, like a Hebrew book,
Till life became a Legend of the Dead.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
