On Friday, September 6, and Saturday, September 7, 2019, WGI launched the first-ever WGIcon in New Orleans! WGIcon is an educational event for all instructors, designers, technicians, and administrators of Percussion, Winds, and Color Guard groups around the globe.

Featuring multiple motivational speakers and a Cirque Du Soleil® workshop, we heard from leading educators, designers and technicians, such as Michael Duffy and Clint Pulver, on how they make their magic. Attendees also had the opportunity to learn secrets on how to make a career from the marching arts, how to launch a new group, and more!
