The ÉðÊ¿Âþ»­ Indoor Percussion Ensemble learned Sunday night that their outstanding semifinal performance qualified them to compete in the 2021 WGI world finals!

WGI, or Winter Guard International/Sport of the Arts, is the premier organization promoting indoor wintertime competitions in color guard, percussion and wind instruments.

The ÉðÊ¿Âþ»­ Indoor Percussion Ensemble is composed of middle- and high-school musicians simultaneously playing a variety of instruments and performing theater. Students play a multitude of percussion instruments including pitched bass, snare, tenor and timpani drums, along with cymbals, marimbas, xylophones, vibraphones and electric piano.

Due to COVID-19, all of WGI competitions this year are virtual. These photos are from the winning video the ÉðÊ¿Âþ»­ group recorded last Thursday and submitted to the semifinal competition.

On to the world finals April 17-18!
