“LEGACY IS THE DARKER SIDE OF MY SOUND. THESE CYMBALS ARE VIBRANT, TRASHY AND BEAUTIFUL, ALL AT ONCE.” – DAVE WECKL

www.sabian.com

“‘Tone Texture’ is what makes Legacy special. These cymbals have a dark, musical color that encompasses the full tonal spectrum but digs way down deep. The rides put out a cushion of sound. The crashes are punchy but complex. And for something completely different there’s the O-Zone Ride.

I play Legacy alone, or mix them with my brighter sounding HHX Evolution set-up. With all this tone texture, it’s easy to find yourself in Legacy.”

Welcome

The President of the United States of America

February 28, 2006

3 I send greetings to those gathered for the 2006 Winter Guard International Color Guard World Championships and Percussion World Championships.

For more than a quarter century, Winter Guard International has brought young people from around the world together to showcase their talents and foster goodwill. The Championships advance arts appreciation and education and help teach competitors the importance of teamwork and discipline.

I congratulate performers for working hard to reach this level of competition, and I encourage you to continue to share your gifts. I also commend your families, teachers, and coaches for their guidance and support. You efforts strengthen the creative spirit of our Nation.

Laura and I send our best wishes.

Welcome

Welcome

The Executive Director of WGI Sport of the Arts

April 20, 2006 It is with particular pride that I welcome all the performers, instructors, boosters, and fans gathered once again for one of the premier pageantry events in the world: the WGI Percussion World Championships.

It is truly a wonder to watch thousands of performers knowing that each has an individual story that brings them to this moment. The struggle to master a particular skill or overcome performance nerves can be a metamorphosis in a person’s development. While we see the end result only the individual knows the road it took to get here. That deserves an outpouring of appreciation from all of us privileged to witness the culmination of their efforts.

All this vitality would not be possible without support. Our sponsors play a major role in shaping our organization and this event. Our judges and volunteers are unsung heroes putting in long hours, traveling great distances, and dedicating themselves towards providing an “experience” for all our performers. You have my eternal thanks and respect.

As WGI heads into its’ thirtieth anniversary, the future remains bright. We all leave this weekend treasuring the moments that made 2006 and looking towards even higher goals as we enter the next decade.

Welcome

by Philip Mayard

Welcome to Dayton

Over the last several years, it has been my sincere honor to produce numerous articles for Winter Guard International, a privilege that has allowed me to meet and write about so many fascinating people. From brilliant designers and instructors — many of whom have been around WGI since its humble beginnings in the 70’s — to enthusiastic young performers experiencing the thrill of Championships for the first time, I never cease to be amazed by the colorful spectrum of delightful, inspiring, challenging, and often hysterical personalities which our activity seems to attract.

Whether I marched or taught with them, stood in front of them as an instructor, or have written an article about them, I find it impossible to walk more than a few feet in the University of Dayton arena and not run into someone I know. I’d like to say this happens because I’m the most popular person here, but that's certainly not the case! The fact is that most everyone here is having a very similar experience.

One of my favorite things to do during Championships weekend is to walk around the arena and observe people. I always see throngs of attendees laughing, smiling, hugging and sometimes even crying. From the parking lot to the souvenir area, and the warm-up tent to the concession stands, everywhere you look, people seem to be running into old friends. Excited shrieks of glee can be heard, as people stop and get caught up on what is going on in each other’s lives. With this many people in attendance, no wonder it sometimes takes so long to get from your seat to the restroom!

Of course, many of us return to Championships to witness the next generation of young performers, reveling in the glory of a job well done. Some of us come to see what innovative,

entertaining and thoughtprovoking productions our activity’s designers will pull out of their creative hats.

(And, much to the chagrin of our fellow audience members, offer our “unbiased” opinions on their efforts!)

However, having walked many, many “laps” around the U.D. Arena over the years, I've come to believe that a large majority of attendees travel to Championships mainly to reconnect with cherished friends.

I was recently looking through my file of WGI articles and came across this quote, which ran in the 2003 Championships program.

“In tentative and isolating times, it is grounding to embrace an art form that is fundamentally based on collaboration… Performing is an act of craft, courage and continuity that is ultimately reassuring both to those who practice it and to those who appreciate it.” Playwright Wendy Wasserstein, New York Times The last three years have been tumultuous ones for the human race. In 2003, it was unclear what our nation’s role in the Middle East would be, and sadly, the extraordinary playwright

Wendy Wasserstein recently 11 passed away at the age of 55, after a courageous battle with cancer.

And although Wasserstein probably never heard of winter guard or indoor percussion, I think her quote perfectly captures the spirit and soul of our activity, beautifully encapsulating what draws us all back to each other, year after year.

Yes, the world has changed significantly since 1977, when six friends gathered around a table to form Winter Guard International.

But whether this is your first trip to World Championships or your twentieth (like mine!), isn’t it comforting to find that “our” world hasn't really changed all that much?

Indeed, the bonds of friendship formed through winter guard and indoor percussion are unlike any others in the world.

This weekend, take a moment to look around at the people in this arena... How lucky are we to have found this activity? And each other!

Color Guard Judges

WGI Color Guard Judges undergo a rigorous training program including an extensive period of trial judging.

Judges applying for WGI approval must complete a home study process, the Judges’ Academy, trialing on guards in every class, and participate in a continuing education program that encompasses annual study requirements and clinics. The judging community is a body of professionals who have come from the activity and are now working to perpetuate the unique experience WGI Sport of the Arts offers. Many are trained in dance and theatre and bring that knowledge to the performers. Many are educators and professionals who share a common understanding of the gigantic role the pageantry arts played in their own lives. These judges endeavor to offer a quality experience to the thousands of young people who grace our stage and give us their best.

The Judgin g

The qualities that WGI judges measure for color guard are divided into four areas or captions: General Effect, Ensemble Analysis, Individual Analysis of Equipment and Individual Analysis of Movement. Each total score is out of a possible 100 points.

16 At World Championships, the guards are judged by a double panel to assure the fairest and broadest evaluation possible.

Individual Analysis of Equipment (IA) 20 points Equipment judges analyze the range and depth of the choreographic efforts of the flags, rifle, sabers or other props being manipulated.

Equipment judges will also analyze

the training, excellence and achievement of the performers in comparison to multiple responsibilities being asked of the performer.

Individual Analysis of Movement (IA) 20 points Movement judges analyze the range and depth of the movement vocabulary while spinning equipment and while strictly dancing. Special consideration is made regarding the training, excellence, and achievement of the performers, as well as the uniformity from performer to performer.

Ensemble Analysis (EA) 20 points Ensemble judges analyze the quality of the design, and the

depth of the composition of the program as a whole. Special consideration is given to the technical and expressive excellence demonstrated by the performers. A close look is given to each moment in time.

General Effect (GE) 40 points General Effect judges reward the plan of events or effects. Effects can be intellectual, (thought provoking, complex in design, literal to musical interpretation) emotional (adrenaline, broad range of human emotions), or aesthetic (color, shape, artistic). This caption is about the whole package and is brought to life through the performer.

The Judging System

The WGI Percussion judging community is a body of professionals including some of the most honored and respected percussionists in the world. These individuals bring their knowledge and passion for music to the performers. Many are educators and professionals who share a common understanding of the gigantic role the pageantry arts played in their own lives. These judges endeavor to offer a quality experience to the thousands of young people who grace our stage and give us their best. Some of the WGI Percussion Visual Judges have come from the color guard or drum corps activity and are now working to perpetuate the unique experience WGI Sport of the Arts offers.

System Marchin g Criteria

Marching percussion groups are judged in three captions: General Effect 40 points Percussion General Effect judges are evaluating two specific things during a performance: Music Effect (communication, creativity, blend and balance, expression) and Overall Effect (communication, audio/visual coordination, pacing through time, imagination/creativity, entertainment).

Performance Analysis 40 points Performance Analysis judges look at the composition of a show (musical and technical content, and simultaneous responsibilities) as well Rob Keller Indianapolis, IN Rich Kemp Evergreen Park, IL Kathy Kerrins West Roxbury, MA Eric Kitchenman Lansdale, PA Jeff Krywinski Brick, NJ Paul Lampkin Sanborn, NY Michael Levesque Los Angeles, CA Jerry Link Cary, IL Kevin Maben Shawnee, KS Phil Madden Lovettsville, VA Charles Mascaro Mandeville, LA Jay McArthur Ridgeland, MS

Concert Criteria

as the performance quality (musicianship, rhythmic clarity and uniformity).

Visual 20 points Visual judges consider the show composition as well as the performance quality. Compositional elements being analyzed include: visual musicality, attention to detail, creativity and unity of the elements composing the composition.

Concert Percussion are judged in two captions: Artistry 50 points Here an intense look is given to the program and the fulfillment of those programmatic choices. Here com17 munication, musicianship, presence, and expression make up a few of the components being evaluated.

Performance 50 points 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.

CENTER GROVE WINTER PERCUSSION WGI WORLD CHAMPIONS OF 2005!

“We want electronic percussion to be the exclamation point on an already strong show . . . strong enough for the judges to say “Cool!” —Jeff Huffman, Percussion Instructor

“The whole electronic thing will evolve. It’s about doing what we want to do. It’s about having the kids at the forefront. . . .

By adding one more family of voices to a band, the possibilities go up exponentially.”—Kevin Schuessler, Band Director

CENTER GROVE USES ROLAND PD-8 PADS AND TD-6 MODULES, A ROLAND V-TOUR DRUM KIT, ROLAND FANTOM-Xa KEYBOARD, AND TDA-700 V-DRUM AMPLIFIERS.

“LEGACY IS THE DARKER SIDE OF MY SOUND. THESE CYMBALS ARE VIBRANT, TRASHY AND BEAUTIFUL, ALL AT ONCE.” – DAVE WECKL

www.sabian.com

“‘Tone Texture’ is what makes Legacy special. These cymbals have a dark, musical color that encompasses the full tonal spectrum but digs way down deep. The rides put out a cushion of sound. The crashes are punchy but complex. And for something completely different there’s the O-Zone Ride.

I play Legacy alone, or mix them with my brighter sounding HHX Evolution set-up. With all this tone texture, it’s easy to find yourself in Legacy.”
