The WGI Color Guard World Championships is the premier showcase for winter color guard. The event is produced by WGI Sport of the Arts
which also produces the WGI Percussion World Championships one week after the color guard event. Last year's WGI Championships drew 11,000
participants over two weekends, including nearly 300 color guards and 200 percussion ensembles from 40 states and 5 countries.
The color guard contest features preliminary rounds in six classes of competition, providing opportunities for units at all levels of expertise, from beginning to advanced. Scholastic units draw members from the same high school. Independent units draw members who are not necessarily affiliated with a particular school. Fifteen units in each division advance to the Finals round, where medals are awarded to the top three finishers. WGI is focused on education and provides curriculum materials for classes in equipment, movement and design. WGI also provides a full educational program for instructors and judges. The organization promotes higher education by annually awarding $20,000 in academic scholarships to student performers. Winter guard and indoor percussion are the fastest growing of the marching arts, and high school marching bands benefit from the skills developed in these winter programs. 2012 Color Guard Medalists
