One notable tradition is Night of the Living Guitars, an annual showcase of student bands that raised money for the music department. After being discontinued for a few years, the tradition was revived in 2008 under the name "Guitar Night". Some notable shows include Guitar Night 2016 [6] and 2017. [7] Some videos of these performances exist online. [8] Other similar musical performances have included "HB Idol", "Jazz Night", and "Southern Rock Night". [9]

HBHS has also hosted the New Hampshire Band Directors Association (NHBDA) Jazz Clinic for the past ten years, besides one cancellation due to snow in 2015. Local middle and high schools taking part in the jazz clinic can come for either the morning or afternoon session, where students can work with one of the three visiting jazz band directors as a whole ensemble and go to the sectional clinics held by esteemed jazz musicians for their respective instruments.
