Lyrics:
Come all you lads and lassies
Root for the Highland laddies
We want to the plaid and white team to win tonight—Rah! Rah!Rah!
Strike up the band again; Let's raise the score again;
They are the team with the Pep and the Vim
You do your best my lads, we'll do the rest my lads
We'll root for you for a victory tonight RAH! RAH! RAH!
Come all you lads and lassies,
Root for the Highland Laddies.
We want the plaid and white team
To win tonight,
H-I-G-H-L-A-N-D, H-I-G-H-L-A-N-D, H-I-G-H-L-A-N-D
The Highland High School marching band is known as The Marching Highlanders. With a rich tradition of excellence, the Highlanders are known throughout the state for their unique uniform and music. The Highlanders perform in full Scottish regalia, including kilts, plaids, and dublets. The Highlanders also have a bagpipe corps within their ranks, one of only a handful in United States high schools.
As early as 1958, the Marching Highlanders began competing in the annual "State Fair Band Day" competition held in Indianapolis. From 1958 through 1975, the Highlanders were a presence and force to be reckoned with, earning the title of State Champion on three occasions. The Highlanders returned to the State Fair in 2004, and have proven their skills by earning the championship title in 2005, 2007, and 2009. In 2010 the Marching Highlanders performed as the Anderson High School Marching Highlanders and once again received the championship.[2]
In the years not participating in the State Fair, the Highlanders participated in the ISSMA Marching Band State Finals, competing in either Class A and B, depending on enrollment. While never attaining champion status, they were considered one of the premiere bands in the state.
