WELCOME!
DEAR WGI COMMUNITY,
I am thrilled to see yet another year of WGI’s continued success as thousands of directors, staff, volunteers, performers, and fans make their way to Dayton for our 46th annual World Championships.
To all of the audience members, I hope you can appreciate the spectacular skill sets displayed by groups this weekend, as excellence is a trademark of every World Championships event. These performers have put in countless hours of work and preparation to bring you the competitive programs you will see this weekend, and they all deserve your thunderous applause.
To all of the educators and family members of these incredible young performers, it is because of you that their growth and development push the boundaries of what is possible in this activity. Without your unwavering dedication, their journey to WGI and beyond would not be possible.
To all of the volunteers and staff, we can’t thank you enough. You are the backbone of this organization, and events like this would not be possible without your hard work and commitment to excellence. You hold a special place in our hearts, and you have our eternal gratitude.
And lastly, on behalf of WGI Sport of the Arts, we extend our sincere congratulations and best wishes to all performers, past and present, who make WGI the vibrant organization it is today.
Very truly yours,
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, WGI SPORT OF THE ARTS

JUDGING
The judging community is a body of professionals often trained in dance, theatre, and art. Their color guard experience, combined with extensive study, and guided by WGI’s judge philosophy, gives WGI judges the expertise to reward the efforts and achievements of today’s performers.
After a period of judging for one of WGI’s Circuit Partners, WGI Color Guard Judges undergo a rigorous training program including a home study, a Judge Academy, an extensive trial period of judging guards in every class, and participating in a continuing education program that encompasses annual study requirements and clinics.
GENERAL EFFECT – 40 PTS.
TWO JUDGES - 20 POINTS EACH
General Effect Judges reward the effectiveness of the total program and all its components. Effects are broken down into 3 categories:
• Intellectual Effects are thought-provoking, complex in design, and consider the visual approach to musical settings.
• Emotional Effects include adrenaline effects, as well as effects covering the broad range of human emotions.

• Aesthetic Effects include the artistic viewpoint, the impact of the setting, and how the performers create effects within the environment created by the designer. Aesthetic Effects also cover choreographic considerations of equipment and movement.
This caption is about the whole package and how it is brought to life through the efforts of the performers.
DESIGN ANALYSIS- 20 PTS
Design Judges analyze the quality of the design and the depth of the composition of the program as a whole. These judges analyze the “blueprint” of the program, as well as the fulfillment of the composition by the ensemble. Special consideration is given to the technical and expressive excellence demonstrated by the performers. Along with assessing the collective skill set of the total ensemble, a close look is given to each moment in time and how it relates, through time, to the entirety of the program.
EQUIPMENT- 20 PTS
INDIVIDUAL ANALYSIS
Equipment Judges analyze the performers’ challenges illustrated by the range and variety of efforts presented through the manipulation of flags, rifles, sabres, and other props. Equipment judges will also analyze performer excellence through training, timing, technique, and the achievement of simultaneous responsibilities. The Equipment Judge is located lower in the stands so they can sample individual performers and make direct comparisons between performers.
MOVEMENT- 20 PTS
INDIVIDUAL ANALYSIS
Movement Judges are also located lower in the stands. They analyze the range and depth of the total movement vocabulary. Movement Judges consider the isolated dance moments, as well as the movement focus during combined efforts of movement and equipment. The Movement Judge, through the assessment of kinesthetic awareness, also considers individual challenges presented by the staging. Special consideration is made regarding the training, excellence, and achievement of the performers, as well as the uniformity from performer to performer.

Winter Guard International (WGI) Sport of the Arts is the world’s premier non-profit organization producing indoor color guard, percussion, and wind ensemble competitions. It is called the Sport of the Arts because it brings music and motion to life through performance in a competitive format.
Now entering its 46th year in 2023, the sport continues to evolve and grow. This season, there were more than 40,000 participants at the regional level, and more than 14,000 participants competing at the 2023 WGI World Championships.
WGI HALL OF FAME
The Hall of Fame is the highest honor given to those individuals who make a significant contribution to WGI and who have, in some way, influenced the course of our history. Their contribution may be made through artistic standards, administrative leadership, or adjudication.

EMERGING VOICES AWARDS
The I AM WGI: Emerging Voices Award is a community-funded monetary award that provides an opportunity for outstanding minority performers with significant financial needs to reach their highest potential. The award is geared to those individuals who show promise to be a beacon for positive change in both their local communities and WGI.
Luz Riviera is a student at Arizona University pursuing a degree in English Literature. They march with FeniX Independent and have a passion for aiding LGBTQ+ youth in the color guard community. They plan to use the funds to continue their education and bring national awareness to the issues revolving around LGBTQ+ youth and create the necessary resources to help them.
Chris Washington aims to give a larger voice to underrepresented members of the indoor marching arts community. As a music educator, Chris has experienced many different sides of the marching arts. From Band Director to drum major, color guard performer, and community leader, Chris hopes to use his range of experiences to create a mentorship program within his local circuit.
