Participant wristbands
With event registration, each group automatically receives participant wristbands for the number of marching members plus ten extras for directors, staff, chaperones, etc.
Participant wristbands are distributed to each group at check-in. Wristbands MUST be visible on the wrist or ankle to gain entrance to the event, and should be worn snugly to avoid loss and prevent interference with equipment. If a wristband breaks or is damaged, directors should bring the damaged wristband to check-in to obtain a replacement.
- Groups competing at WGI Regional and Power Regional events will receive participant wristbands for all performing members plus ten (10) additional participant wristbands, two of which will provide front-side seating. These wristbands allow for entry to prelims, semi-finals, and finals for that regional.
- Groups competing at WGI World Championships will receive participant wristbands for all performing members plus ten (10) additional participant wristbands. These wristbands allow for entry to prelims, semi-finals, A Class Finals, Open Class Finals, and Winds Finals. World Class Finalist groups will receive the same number of “Finalists” wristbands that they received at check-in.
- Extra participant wristbands are intended to be distributed at the discretion of the director and used for staff, chaperones, volunteers, bus drivers, interpreters, floor crew, or anyone the group may need to have entry to the event.
- Groups may purchase a PLUS Pass at the time of registration to receive additional participant wristbands (see detailed information under “PLUS Pass” below).
- There are no director/instructor badges at WGI Events. If the number of wristbands your group needs exceeds the extra wristbands allotted, regular spectator tickets must be purchased for entry.
