As another exciting year comes to an end, we can’t help but look back at some of the best moments from the year that occurred for the organization and the indoor marching arts activity.
Take a look below at some of our highlights from 2023!
1. WGI Renewed Contract With City of Dayton Through 2031
Over this past summer, the WGI Board of Directors convened to discuss the possibility of renewing their contract with the City of Dayton. In a unanimous decision by the board, the City of Dayton will continue to host WGI’s World Championships through 2031.

2. We Unveiled Brand New Website Design
We were finally able to release our new website after years of planning, research, and development. The new navigation mechanics and salesforce integration on the backend, coupled with a sleek and elegant new design, will hopefully allow for a much better user experience, and we hope you enjoy it just as much as we do!
3. The Winds Division Had the Highest Recorded Regional Attendance Since its Inception
The Winds division reached a milestone this year, with more groups in attendance at the regional level than ever before. This bodes well for the division’s projected growth over the next few years, and we hope to see more of them at our World Championships event in 2024!
4. We Announced a New Location for WGIcon 2024
We recently announced that the 2024 edition of WGIcon will be held in the beautiful city of San Francisco, California!
Join us this upcoming September on the West Coast for a weekend of learning and connecting with some of the greatest minds in the activity!
5. We announced the 2023 Winners of the Emerging Voices Award
Chris Washington and Luz Riviera were the two individuals granted the 2023 WGI Emerging Voices Award. Their ambition to help others and push the boundaries to establish new programs and educate others within their communities is admirable and inspiring.
