WGI Fundraising Telethon

“The impact of canceling two World Championships and the entire 2021 competitive season cut a deep wound in the financial health of WGI Sport of the Arts”, says Director of Operations Bart Woodley. Union Indoor Percussion and Guard would have competed in those events.

Adam Bruce, Union Percussion Programs Director explained: “Union has a long history of competing and performing in WGI dating back to the 80s when indoor color guard and marching percussion were first forming. In recent years, the indoor drumline has competed in A, Open, and World class divisions at WGI, seeing success in each division. Students and parents alike love the spotlight that is shown upon the percussionists through WGI. It has been one of the premier activities that we take part in that has helped to perpetuate generations of successful percussion sections at Union.”

As you may know, we traditionally host a WGI event at Union, and the organization and program are also a huge part of our Guard program and its success over the year.

Please consider participating in this fundraising event to keep advanced marching arts alive. Find the details and donate any time or tune in to the live Telethon HERE.
