2025 WGI Color Guard World Championships (April 3-5)

[packwick]

prelims schedules have been posted for this event!! no judge listings yet.

https://www.wgi.org/color-guard/world-championships-cg/world-championships-schedules-cg/

the top performers from tx mostly ended up w/ good slots. the strongest A classers are almost all in the last half of the day in the last half of their rounds. Jordan and Melissa in the same round for more direct comparison. overall, don't think being forgotten will be the reason any tx A guards miss finals.

woodlands world performing last in SW. tbh arcadia may have lucked out by being seeded 4th, bc that put them in the middle of the final round.

open class, little elm will probably dominate the round they're in. Emerson and Pearland will face more competition in theirs methinks.

We are leaving Wednesday morning. It’s always great to talk with the other Houston-area teams, color guard instructors, and enthusiasts on our same flight and at the airports. Lots of comraderie and wonderful conversation. 

That’s just a warm-up though to the enthusiastic response all the guards receive coming up the tunnel after their performance runs. The WGI World Championships is a such an awesome event! 

Let’s go get ‘em Team Texas! Best wishes to ALL!

[Tubalord11]

Gonna catch as much as I can. I should be able to catch all of SO and SW Saturday, just no award ceremony or IW. Thursday and Friday will be on and off but should be a good amount.
 

can’t believe it’s already the end of the season, best of luck to everyone this weekend!!! 

[Tubalord11]

Alright here’s my full plan for this weekend: 

 

Thursday- noonish-3:30(Sa and TWs)

Friday- whatever I can 

Saturday-all of SO and SW 

[Tubalord11]

Emerson wins round 1 of SO🙌🙌

[WoodlandsMom4ever]

We got to see Emerson this morning. They had a great run!! 

[packwick]

the colony up from 15th and a 77.4 at Dallas to 1st in their round today w/ almost a 90. WOW!!!

Emerson was good, but they def have a better run in em. the fact that they still nearly full pointed their round is a good sign.

[Tubalord11]

Alright sorry for the delay everyone, am home now and free till 7 to watch as many guards as I can! 

[bassboneman]

Little late but, 

Best of luck to all guards, I wish everyone could win worlds. But, only 1 can. As a band kid what you guard people do is crazy(I can't even do the band choro sometimes and y'all's is 1000x time harder). Best of luck again!

[Tubalord11]

Went back to watch Flanagan and oh my, I can def see why they’re doing well this season. Also gj TC, will be fun to see how they do tomorrow! 

[Tubalord11]

Pearland was amazing!! Just so much emotion, once again brought me a couple tears, wonderful job!!

[Tubalord11]

Gosh I love this Wylie show SO much, and they nailed it!! A couple individual mistakes but I fully expect them to have a second performance, amazing performance!! 

[Tubalord11]

Wonderful showing from Garland! Another Tx group I think will have a second performance, just so clean and so much energy 

[Tubalord11]

WOW. Westlake!!! I think my first time seeing them but they were fantastic! Def have a cleaner run but an amazing way to start the weekend!! 

[Tubalord11]

Got to catch Arcadia and yeah wow, they’ve really done some great work, ending is a lot more energetic, really enjoyed that run! 

[Tubalord11]

Katy was amazing!!! Finalist fs, just so so clean, love the flag work in this one a ton, and those uniforms really pop! 

[Tubalord11]

Guys….I think they’re gonna do it
I mean HOLY COW TW’s!!! No drops, the move so well together, so much emotion and energy, don’t really know what more you could ask for. Ofc the judges can see some little things I’m oblivious to but that was just WOW. 
I was curious if they’d be a little nervous today knowing this could be their first gold in SW, but they were unfazed. Two more runs like that or better and the sky’s the limit 

[Tubalord11]

Wylie also almost with a 90 in SA, bravo! 
 

Katy and Garland going 1 and 2 in their round of SA, Katy almost with a 90! 

[Tubalord11]

Pearland Westlake and Bowie going 1 2 and 3 in the second round of SO, Pearland with a 92!!! Big things happening for team Texas right now!! 

[Tubalord11]

94.1 for The Woodlands, in first by exactly two points!!
