FROM RON NANKERVIS
CEO, WGI Sport of the Arts
A
s you sit down to read this edition of Focus, fall is winding
down, and with that comes the change of season that some of
us prefer above all others. With winter right around the corner weekends are a blur of auditions, design meetings, and early rehearsals.
Time seems to blur as drum corps gives way to marching band then
color guard and indoor percussion to stop and truly appreciate the
gifts pageantry bring into our lives.
Winter Guard International celebrates it 30th anniversary during
the 2006-2007 season. As I look back over a quarter of a century of
magical experiences, there are so many extraordinary snapshots in
time. There are more highlights than I can possibly list but one has to
marvel at the enduring friendships made along the way.
Two of our original founders, Marie Czapinski and Shirlee
Whitcomb, are still playing vital roles in WGI along with
many of the championships staff. This along with the fact
that my goddaughter just made her first World guard proves
that time marches on.
This coming year promises to be one of reinvention for
WGI. Look for a new website, the return of Spinfest!! and a
celebration of our past but with more emphasis on the next
evolution of winter pageantry. Proud of its past and confident of its future, we enter our third decade with the promise
of a bright tomorrow for the next generation of lucky people
to discover what some of us have known for some time.

A Celebration of Our Art Form!
AARON JENKINS
T
he WGI Sport of the Arts
30th Anniversary is finally in
sight. Thousands of performers
have already started spending
their nights and weekends training
to perfect their show, and make
the 2007 World Championships
their moment of glory. They will
rely on technique, skills, instructors, fans, and fellow members to
make the most memorable season
to date. Whether they come for a
medal, a crowd reaction, or just
to say they were there to see the
excitement, all the performers,
staff, volunteers, and audience
members are sure to make this
season unforgettable.
The city of Dayton, Ohio will
again serve as host for the WGI
World Championships for the
21st time. The Color Guard
Championships will be held April
12-14 with finals at the University
of Dayton Arena. Percussion
Championships will take place one
week later, April 19-21, with finals
at the Nutter Center on the campus of Wright State University.
WGI World Championships is
the time and place where we can
celebrate our art form, the activity
that defines a part of who we are,
and what brings us joy. This
pastime has brought so many
important and special individuals
into our lives. The WGI Sport of
the Arts 2007 World Championships is where we affirm that winter
guard and indoor percussion
activities are unlike any other.
There has never been anything like
the 2007 WGI season before, and
there never will be anything like
it again.
More than 41,000 spectators
came to watch the color guards
and percussion ensembles from
34 states and three countries
participate at the 2006 World
Championships. These groups
gave extraordinary performances
throughout prelims, semis, and
finals in three major arenas.
Ultimately only one color guard
or percussion ensemble walked
away with top honors in each
class, but the audience left as
winners too. These shows and performers will remain in fans’ memories for the rest of
their lives.
Color Guard and
Percussion World
Class Finals tickets
are expected to
sell-out as they have
in previous years.
In order to witness the precision,
creativity, and artistry first hand,
place your order early.Try our new
online order form on www.wgi.org.
Don’t miss out on this spectacular
opportunity to be a part of WGI
Sport of the Arts history!

GI announces a revolution in pageantry arts
video: WGI ON DEMAND! This
unique website allows you to select
various individual World Class
performances from past years and
place them onto one custom DVD.
This system will have performances from 1979 through 2003
available before the end of this year.
Each WGI ON DEMAND DVD
includes five individual shows for
only $20.00.
Similar to an
iTunes concept, you
can add
shows to
your disk
for only
$1.99 per
show. Each disk
can contain up
to fifteen shows maximum. You
can even mix and match color
guard and percussion shows on
the same disk!
Another feature of the system
is the ability to use a “Keyword
Search”. This function will allow
you to search for your favorite
units name to pull up all shows
by that unit on the WGI ON
DEMAND system. You can also
search for show concepts like “The
Pines of Rome” and build a DVD
of shows with that music title in
the show description.

www.wgiondemand.com
Your customized WGI ON
DEMAND DVD will ship within
two business days via UPS.
Customers can select regular
ground or expedited shipping,
just as with the current online
shop. The face of the DVD, backside, and spine of the wrap is
also fully customizable. Customers can see the titles they selected
printed right on the face and
outside wrap of their WGI ON
DEMAND DVDs.
Here are some frequently asked
questions.
Q
A
Why are some shows
missing?
If a show is not listed at all, it has
not passed copyright requirements
and will no longer be offered by
WGI.
Q
A
Can I mix indoor percussion
and color guard shows on
one disk?
Yes, any show that appears on the
WGI ON DEMAND system can be
put on a DVD, no matter what
class, year, or activity.
Q
A
Can I customize my DVD
cover?
You have the ability to give a
custom title to your WGI ON
DEMAND DVD. This title will
appear on the spine and on the
back of the cover along with the
list of performances in order of
appearance. The list will also be
printed on the DVD itself.
Q
A
When I click Submit, why
does it respond with
“Not a member?”
The “Not a member” error message usually only appears when
trying to pay with an American
Express card. WGI ON DEMAND
can only accept VISA, Discover,
and Master Card.
ONDEMANDfocus
WGI ONDEMAND
Q
A
What does it mean by
“Under review by fraud
services?”
There are two main errors which
may cause this error message.
Most likely the three-digit security
code or address verification filter
was activated. Please make sure
that the last three digits from the
signature line on the back of your
credit card are entered correctly.
Also, ensure the billing information is the same as what is on file
with your financial institution.
Q
A
When will I receive my DVD?
DVDs will be shipped within two
business days via UPS. Customers
can select regular ground or expedited shipping. An e mail will be
sent to confirm when the product
is shipped. UPS confirmation
numbers will be included in an
email notifying you that your
product has been shipped.

Three Guards
Promoted Into Independent World Class
for 2007 Season
P H I L I P M AYA R D
W
hether it’s a promotion
to a higher paying job
or being promoted to the next
grade in elementary school, for
many, the word “promotion” elicits
not only feelings of happiness,
excitement, and pride, but also
apprehension and perhaps even
fear. The same sometimes holds
true in the winter guard activity.
Fortunately, the days of the muchfeared “bump-up score” as the sole
impetus for a class promotion are
long gone. Over the past decade,
WGI has invested considerable
time and resources into a color
guard class promotional system
which looks not only at scores, but
at the training and achievement
level of the performers themselves.
Here is a brief breakdown of
how the color guard promotion
process works: During the season,
a guard can be “requested for
review” if they are perceived to be
in the wrong class, up through
“Week 6” of competition. If a unit
has yet to attend a regional by
“Week 7”, that unit can be reviewed
after the 6th week. This request for
review can be made by the Color
Guard Coordinator (Dale Powers),
the Color Guard Chief Judge (Jim
Mahoney), the Color Guard Education Director (Shirlee Whitcomb),
the Chief Judge of a particular
contest, any Steering Committee
member, any Contest Administrator, or any unit director
competing at that specific regional.
Once a unit is up for review, a
videotape of that guard is quickly
sent to the WGI Review Committee (four World Class Steering
Committee members, Education
Director, Chief Judge, and Color
Guard Coordinator), which
then considers the training and
development level of the performers,
the challenges they are achieving,
and to a slightly lesser degree the
quality and depth of the program.
Most importantly, the committee
must determine if the potential
promotion will permit those
students to achieve and be competitive in the next higher class.
The decision is voted upon by
each member, and the Color
Guard Coordinator then informs
the guard of the decision.
At the end of each season, all class
finalists are reviewed by the same
committee using the same criteria.
It is not automatic for medalists to
be automatically promoted. From
the 2006 Independent Open Class
finalists, three were informed they
would be promoted into the coveted
ranks of Independent World competition: In Motion (Fairfield, CA),
JSU Center Stage Performance
Ensemble (Jacksonville, AL), and
Croatan (Newport, NC).
Buchanan Miles, Director/
Choreographer of In Motion says,
“The members and myself look
at [the promotion to Independent
World Class] as a wonderful
accomplishment for all of our
hard work and effort. We went
from Independent A Class Silver
Medalists in 2005 to Independent
Open Class Silver Medalists in
2006. The only change in our
planning is to add another South
Power Regional to our schedule.
We have a busy season ahead of
photos left to right In Motion, JSU Center Stage.
us, and I have a wonderful parent/
support group.” In Motion, who
will perform to the music of
Donny Hathway in 2007 will have
about half of their 2006 performers
returning, as well as three former
“ageouts,” for a total of 18 to 20
members. Season plans include six
California Color Guard Circuit
competitions, appearances at the
following regionals in Las Vegas,
South Power Regional, West Power
Regional, Union City, and the 2007
Color Guard World
Championships in Dayton.
JSU Center Stage Performance
Ensemble learned about WGI’s
promotional system
firsthand during the
2006 season, having
been promoted
from Independent A
into Independent
Open class.
According to
Rodney Bailey,
Director/Designer
since the guard’s
inception in 1998,
“My kids had mixed
feelings about the
promotion. Most of them felt as
I did initially: that we would not
be able to survive in the new
class.” Fortunately their fears were
unfounded, as they went on to
become Independent Open class
bronze medalists at World
Championships.
Bailey says little will change in
the coming season for the guard.
“We are still keeping the same
schedule we have always used.
Since we are affiliated with
Jacksonville State University, there
are certain restrictions on the time
and amount of rehearsals we can
set. We are planning on competing

coming season will be that of
Croatan, who only three years ago
was a small Scholastic A guard.
After two years in Scholastic A,
and two in Scholastic Open
(earning the silver medal in
2005), the guard rose from near
extinction in 2006, moving into
the Independent Open division
and earning the gold medal with
their breathtaking program,
“Sanctuary: A World at Peace”.
Lenny Westmoreland, Croatan’s
instructor since the guard was
founded five years ago, says that
the guard will continue to be very
much school-based (Croatan
High School), comprised of 75%
of the 2006 members, and a few
former age-outs. Westmoreland
goes on to say, “Our only plan for
the upcoming season is stay true
to who we are.”
Congratulations and good Luck
in Independent World Class.
Congratulations!
Congratulations!
WGI is pleased to announce the following color
guards have also reached a milestone in their
development and have been promoted for the 2007 competitive season.
Scholastic World: Cheshire HS, Cypress Falls HS, Taylor HS, Trumbull HS, and Shenendehowa HS.
Independent Open: Act 1, Emanon, Etude, Onyx, Salem Blue, and USF.
Scholastic Open: Countryside HS, Denham Springs HS, Ft. Mill HS – Gold, Gates Chili HS,

in three regionals, as well as the
2007 Color Guard World
Championships.” Center Stage’s
unique situation allows students to
earn college credit for participating
in the Center Stage class. The
guard’s promotion into the
Independent World Class will also
allow several former “ageouts” who
have continued to perform with
the school’s fall guard to return to
the winter guard performance
floor this season.
Perhaps the most fascinating
Independent World story of the
T
he concert percussion family
is growing up and moving
out. With a brand new class of
competition and a new World
Championship performance
venue, the 2007 season will prove
this unique division is still evolving
and will reach new heights of
entertainment.
Effective for the 2007 season,
WGI is introducing Percussion
Scholastic Concert A Class of competition at all WGI Regionals and
at the WGI Percussion World
Championships. This new class
will allow an “entry-level” classification of competition for concert
percussion ensembles.

Class
New concert percussion ensembles will find A Class to be a place
where they may easily establish
themselves in the exciting world of
indoor percussion. The Concert A
Class will only be offered at World
Championships provided that
there are 6 or more units entered
in each Concert Class division
before January 1.
A new performance venue will
accommodate the Concert
Percussion units during the
Percussion World Championships.
An auditorium setting will be used
to provide a true professional
concert hall experience for the
competing units. This new venue
will hold all classes of Concert
Percussion Finals on Friday night
of the Percussion World Championships weekend. Specifics on the
World Championship performance
venue will be released once the
space is secured by the WGI office.

Enrich the Experience!!
A Bold Step Into Our 30th Year
T
he forward-thinking WGI
Color Guard Steering Committee has adopted the direction to
EXPLORE, EXCITE, EXCEL &
ENRICH THE EXPERIENCE for
all of WGI’s activities in this our
30th anniversary year! This premise
is directed to color guards in their
choices of programming and
design, to our judges in terms of
pushing their boundaries toward
higher standards, and to the organization in the quality of how WGI
services the color guards. The result
of these efforts focuses on providing
an enriched experience for performers, instructors, and audiences.
photo Mt Juliet HS.
Designers are encouraged to
think progressively, not to settle
for what falls into their comfort
zone, and to challenge their performers with new and creative
color guard opportunities. They
are also encouraged to offer an
enriched training program to
provide the students with a
higher level of excellence, greater
SHIRLEE WHITCOMB
understanding of their skills, and
renewed enthusiasm for the art of
performance.
Paralleling this approach, judges
are directed to recognize and
reward the successful efforts of
the designers and the performers
as we collectively reach for new
heights of excellence, excitement,
and entertainment.
When all is said and done, we
look for more diversity of programs, stronger performances, and
a satisfied audience as they enjoy
the benefits of this combined
focus in 2007. Please do your part
in making this goal a reality.

This fall WGI will unveil a new look and feel to
wgi.org! Participants, instructors, fans, and family members will find the new WGI website easier
navigate and a little more fan friendly. Plans are
in the works to include more content throughout
the season, especially more video clips!
The new wgi.org will also include a director’s
only log-in area. This is where unit directors can
find specific information pertaining to their group
and about the shows they are attending, official
WGI forms, and director focused news articles.
Visitors to wgi.org will also notice a new online
store, which is more customer friendly and the
inventory has been recently updated! One new
feature is a personal shopping cart which allows
customers to select items into their shopping cart
and return to them later should they chose to not
purchase them at the time. This helps you save
time finding all the items you want.

D
rum corps season came to
an exciting end with The
Cavaliers winning their 7th DCI
World Championship. The corps
and guard were outfitted in uniforms designed by Michael Cesario
and manufactured by FJM. The
unique “Machine” uniform worn
by the guard helped to add excitement and understanding to the
design of the show.
Please keep in mind as preparations continue for your upcoming
winter seasons, that FJM can help
add excitement to your show.
Whether you are in need of a winter
guard uniform, drum line uniform,
or flags, we have what you need to
make your program a success. We at
FJM were again proud this year to
have completely outfitted James
Logan High School in a design by
Scott
Chandler, as
they won their
9th Scholastic
World Gold
Medal.
Our team of
designers is
ready to help
make your season a winning one
too! We can provide you with an
outstanding design at an affordable
price, along with the familiar quality
and customer service you have
come to know from us. Nowhere
else will you find the most original
visual stylists, the widest array of
boldly graphic flags, accessories,
shoes, and equipment in the industry. For more information, please

Pro-Mark
Introduces
Two Models
P
ro-Mark Corporation, the
world’s largest manufacturer
dedicated exclusively to the design,
production, and distribution of
drumsticks, mallets, and percussion accessories announces the
addition of two new marching
snare drumstick models.
Designed by drum corps legend
Dennis DeLucia, the two new
models are offered in the original
Japanese Shira Kashi White Oak
(PWDC20W), as well as premium
American Hickory (TXDC20W).
Both are 16-3/4 inches long, and
.680" (17mm) in shaft diameter
with a relative short taper to an
unusual oval shaped wood tip
which will provide consistent head
contact at any angle. What makes
these sticks unique is the tapered
grip area. By creating a flare at the
butt end, which is slightly larger
than the shaft (.770" or 19.5mm),
the result is an exceptionally
well-balanced stick with unparalleled comfort when playing either
matched or traditional grip.
The DC20’s contemporary design
is perfectly suited to today’s
playing style.

Suggested retail price for the
PWDC20W (Oak version) is

(hickory version) lists for $15.25.
Both models are in stock and
available for immediate delivery.

“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.”
