the judging system WGI Percussion Judges undergo a rigorous training program. Many are educators and professionals whose life work has been reinforced by their

indoor percussion experiences, and

EFFECT-MUSIC: 30 PTS

achievements of today’s performers.

Effect-Music judges evaluate two aspects of the presentation: the Overall Effect and the Music Effect. They are charged with crediting the overall effectiveness of all the elements presented by the ensemble. They are also music specialists that consider the musical elements involved in creating an engaging program, as well as the performers’ ability to connect with the audience.

look to reward the efforts and

concert percussion ARTISTRY: 50 PTS Here an intense look is given to the program and the fulfillment of those programmatic choices. Communication, musicianship, presence, and expression make up a few of the components being evaluated.

EFFECT-VISUAL: 20 PTS

PERFORMANCE: 50 PTS

Effect-Visual judges evaluate two aspects of the presentation: the Overall Effect and the Visual Effect. Just as with the Effect-Music judge, they are charged with crediting the overall effectiveness of all the elements presented by the ensemble. Additionally, they are visual specialists that consider the visual elements involved in creating an engaging program, as well as the performers’ ability to connect with the audience.

Here the judge listens with a critical ear for the clarity of the intent of the composition, while considering performance qualities including musicianship, quality of sound, and technical excellence.

MUSIC: 30 PTS Music judges look at the Composition of a show (orchestration, musical design, range of content, and clarity of intent) as well as the Performance Quality (sound production, musicianship, rhythmic clarity, and ensemble cohesiveness) of the musicians.

VISUAL: 20 PTS Visual judges consider both the Composition of the show (orchestration, staging, clarity of intent, and unity of all the visual elements) and the Performance Quality (ensemble control, accuracy, uniformity, and presence) of the performers.

what is WGI? 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 39th year in 2016, the sport continues to evolve and grow. This season there were more than 36,000 participants at the regional level, and more than 12,000 participants competing at the 2016 WGI World Championships.

WGI hall of fame The Hall of Fame is the highest honor 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.
