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

[packwick]

congrats to A classers. quick calculations, looks like tx units take up half of the top ten spots after semis. Melissa 3rd, + Jordan, Katy, dripping, and Tomball memorial 6th thru 9th in a row. think Wylie also made it in.

I said it over at Hornrank, but it's sad to see The Colony drop from 9th in Prelims to 32nd in Semi-Finals.

I’m very confused. Unless they had a bad run I don’t see why this happened

well i thought Melissa had by far the most goosebumpy show of the top As, we'll see if the performance was good enough to hang onto that medal. it helps that it was the show that had the most on its mind, depicting the frustrations of an artist who shot himself in the chest before he hit peak fame. "Someday you'll understand the meaning of my life." so achingly beautiful. the choreo was soooo expressive.

It's cool seeing River Bluff and Grain Valley make those jumps up, especially Grain Valley. They both gave outstanding performances.

Congratulations to Melissa! Well-deserved medal! And of course to all of the other amazing finalists.

[packwick]

yessss, go Melissa!!! movin up a spot!!

imma stay up way too late tonite to wake up early enough to watch the opens in finals. wishing em all great luck in advance. thinkin' Pearland could still snag a medal w/ a cleaner run than the one in semis.

methinks i should prob congratulate lil elm now but don't wanna jinx it lol. maybe there was too much of a post-dinner score bump in round 3, who knows.

[Tubalord11]

Congratulations to Melissa on Silver!!! And to all the other guards as well, Wylie winning fan favorite via Flo in SA, definitely deserved, was such a super fun show all year!!! 

[Tubalord11]

Good morning all! May have been out till like 4ish in the morning last night, so I needed to sleep some lol, gonna go through all the SO now! 

[Tubalord11]

Holy Springs and PDCMS killed the start is SO!! PD had such a cute show with some challenging stuff, especially rife work

[Tubalord11]

Amazing work from Bowie to kick off teamtexas this morning!! A couple small drops but still an amazing run, yall should be proud of yourself, amazing job JB!!!

[Tubalord11]

Cy-Fair was amazing!!! Have loved watching them over the season and they just gave it their all, bravo!! 
 

Westlake was beautiful as they’ve been all season!! Felt a little lose at times, but I mean wow those girls can perform,amazing work!! 

[Tubalord11]

It’s insane how they went from top of SA to top half of SO on their first Dayton trip all in the same year. Emerson just popped off. So much emotion and skill, I mean they are gonna be doing big things these coming seasons, just such an unreal season for them, amazing job Emerson!! 

[Tubalord11]

Pearland just melted my heart with that performance, oh and they absolutely killed it!!! Everyone was locked!!! I’m really gonna miss that one, just so much emotional expression from everyone, so so beautiful 

[Tubalord11]

Ladies and gentlemen, your 2025 SO champions, LITTLE ELM!!! I mean other than the small details I can’t see, that was about as good of a run as they could have asked for!! Just so passionate and talented, what a season they’ve had, fantastic job!!! 

I also think Pearland takes 2nd here, they had imo the cleanest run between them Nobelsville and Shen, but ofc that’s just what I saw. Regardless congratulations to all the SO groups on yalls fantastic seasons!!

thinkin Pearland coulda used some sabres to increase the individual content scores a bit, we'll see what the recaps show. would be a lil weird to see a guard promoted to world w/o sabres in their show methinks, even tho it's technically not necessary. even the top A classers did some tricky sabre work. still, 4th after self promoting??? that's really incredible. Emerson in a similar boat w/ their promotion and 5th finish. then Westlake in 6th. all the tx ones in finals need to return next yr!!!
