Alumni Interest Form
As we look ahead to the 2027 World Championships, we are preparing for a milestone celebration honoring the legacy, artistry, and community that has shaped WGI across generations. The Opening Ceremony for the World Championships will take place on Wednesday evening of each week, and we want you to be there!
We are looking for volunteers to participate in the opening ceremony, donning historic costumes and taking the floor once more in UD Arena. As an alumnus, your connection to WGI is a testament to the organization, and by participating in the opening ceremony, you would personify the bridge connecting WGI's past directly to its future. The 2027 World Championships will be a moment to celebrate where WGI has been, where it is today, and the future it continues to create for the indoor marching arts community.
To be considered for participation in the Opening Ceremony, Alumni must meet the following requirements:
• Eligibility: While all past WGI performers are welcome, it is highly recommended that you are not a 2027 member of a competing group to avoid any conflicts with your ensemble's rehearsal schedule.
• Availability: You must be available for Zoom meetings throughout the fall/winter. You must also be available for the full duration of Tuesday, April 6, 2027, and Wednesday, April 7, 2027 (Color Guard) or Tuesday, April 13, 2027, and Wednesday, April 14, 2027 (Percussion & Winds) for technical rehearsals and the 7:00 PM ceremony.
• Costume Fittings: You must be able to travel to Dayton, Ohio, in January 2027 for professional costume fittings. We will gather preliminary measurements from your form submission below.
We would be honored to have you join us for this special ceremony. Interested individuals should fill out the form below. Additional details regarding the timeline, responsibilities, attire, and rehearsal information will be shared with selected participants as plans are finalized.
