Judging
The judging community is a body of professionals who are working to perpetuate the unique experience WGI Sport of the Arts offers. Many are professionally trained in music, dance and theatre and bring that knowledge to the performers. Many are educators and professionals who share a common understanding of the gigantic role the marching arts played in their own lives, and who endeavor to offer a quality experience to the thousands of young people who grace our stage and give us their best. Judges applying for WGI approval must complete a home study process, the Judges’ Academy, trialing on guards in every class, and participate in a continuing education program that encompasses annual study requirements and clinics.
