WELCOME! Dear WGI Community, We are so excited to return home for WGI’s 45th anniversary. The indoor activity has weathered many storms over the past two years, but we came out stronger on the other side due to our community’s unwavering dedication to the marching arts. To the thousands of directors, staff, volunteers, and performers, it is because of you that WGI continues to thrive after 45 incredible years. I hope all audience members will admire the spectacular skills on display this weekend, a trademark of every World Championships event. All performers, regardless of score, deserve thunderous applause for the countless hours of work and preparation that they poured into these competitive programs. We would like to thank the educators and family members who support these performers in their journey. Without your efforts, their growth and development would not be possible. Thank you to all our volunteers and staff. You are the backbone of the organization that makes events like this possible. Without your fierce love of our activity, we could not provide opportunities like this to young people all over the world. You have earned a very special place in our hearts and have our eternal gratitude. It is my hope that this World Championships proves to be as inspiring to you, the spectator, as the young people who inspire all of us at WGI. This event is proof that with a thriving community, we can overcome any obstacle and achieve anything we work towards together. It promises to be a very special weekend filled with memorable performances, a nostalgic look back to our origins, and a celebration of what’s to come. On behalf of WGI Sport of the Arts, we extend our sincere congratulations and best wishes to all the performers, past and present, who make WGI the vibrant organization it is today. Very truly yours,
C HI EF E X E C U TI V E O F F I C E R , WG I S P O R T O F TH E A R TS

WE RISE CELEB A LOOK AT WGI’S GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT.
1978 COLOR GUARD The first World Championships event on April 14, 1978, saw 29 guards converge at a Chicago area high school in preliminary competition. The top 15 groups then competed in finals the following day, resulting in the first-ever champion of WGI, Quasar.

set of competition rules, establish unity in judging techniques, and provide a national championship event. The organization that would bloom from this meeting was known as Winter Guard International.
22
2015 WINDS After an incredible exhibition by the Northglenn Performance Ensemble and Aimachi Winds the year prior, WGI held its inaugural Winds World Championships event at the University of Dayton Arena in 2015. Twenty groups competed for the championship title in WGI’s newest division.
RATING 45 YEARS THE ‘80s – TH E FORMATIVE YEARS In the first decade of WGI’s existence, the organization served as a melting pot, blending the different regional styles of color guard together through unified judging criteria. WGI also expanded its international reach during this time, hosting regional competitions in Canada and the UK.
THE ‘90s – BRANCHING OUT The 1990s saw some of the most significant changes to the organization and its activities, with many groups continually moving away from the military approach and embracing innovative program design. WGI also created and implemented the three-tiered class system we still use today, including A, Open, and World.
THE ‘00s – A DECADE OF GROWTH The turn of the century was an era of rapid growth for WGI. As the color guard division continued expanding, surpassing 300+ groups in attendance at World Championships, the number of indoor percussion groups was also growing exponentially each year. In 2005, the percussion division outgrew WGI’s single-weekend championships capacity and warranted moving their event to a separate weekend.
THE ‘10s – PUSHING BOUNDARIES The 2010s saw the highest levels of production value in the activity’s history, with groups from all three divisions boasting ground-breaking program designs and astounding performer skill sets. At an organizational level, WGI’s international presence continued expanding by hosting regionals in countries like China, Costa Rica, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines. 23

The Competition is Heavy, The Drums Should be Light Capture the competitive edge with TAMA’s new Fieldstar marching drums. Fresh innovations are employed across the entire lineup to keep performers feeling fast on their feet, and the music sounding great. The new snares are especially lightweight thanks to a batter-side magnesium edge ring, low profile strainer, and aluminum snare guards. These features help trim the weight by just about 2lbs, ensuring all of the player’s energy is dedicated solely to their performance.
SETTING A HIGHER BAR
Avon Hign School - Avon, IN
The rigorous rehearsal schedule and long hours were for this exact moment. So when the ensemble takes the floor, from the first note to the last, maximize their competitive edge with the sound of Bergerault Performance Series instruments. Meraki Percussion - Burbank, CA
