4. WGI Circuit Symposium Featured Active Shooter Training Programs for all participants
Representatives from local indoor marching arts circuits traveled to Dayton, Ohio to share information, refine strategies, and learn about new policies and procedures with members of the WGI administration.
All of the WGI circuit partners and office staff at the meeting also took part in an Active Shooter Response Training program, hosted by A.L.I.V.E., to proactively inform and prepare the indoor marching arts community in the event of such a crisis.
