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

[Tubalord11]

Little Elm was ridiculously good, CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN!!! The bodywork is just outstanding, rifles were so well together, I haven’t seen a ton of SO but I could see them medaling fs 

[Tubalord11]

Beautiful run from Cy-Fair!!! Just such great use of the props to show the theme, lovely work all around!! 

[packwick]

been really busy, in and out. will try to go back and watch little elm and cy fair.

congrats to woodlands on 2-pointing the field in prelims, despite both Carmel and arcadia having awesome runs. saw it coming. best run ive see from tw. fabulous on the timing, the pitch of the equipment, the hands. didn't see any drops, just a couple half catches, which is insane given their ludicrously hard book. they make everything look so easy, such calmness and control throughout.

congrats to the open classers and A classers so far, too. they're all crushing it rn.

[Tubalord11]

Tomball Memorial coming out on top!! Guys this might be the strongest showing from Texas like, ever?!? I mean holy cow what a day our guards are having!!! And Little Elm with a 93.3, Wow! 

[Tubalord11]

Mellisa was fabulous as usual!! A couple nerves/drops from one of the performers but Ik they’ll be fine tomorrow, still a really great start for them!

first time seeing Dripping Springs in a while and they’ve improved soooo much! Def have a cleaner run as well but still very strong! 

[LEDL.1]

This Little Elm show is ridiculously good. 

[packwick]

glad to see little elm on top after prelims, which is where they belong. magnificent show. beautifully crafted and performed.

i also had Pearland in 2nd. clean and lovely as always. Noblesville was also very strong. i just can't get behind their design. not bc it's "too mature" or whatever, in fact i find the risk-taking refreshing, even if it's not a POC on the open sheets. i just find the soundtrack a lil corny. the lugubrious, whisper-cooed cover of Chandelier + the confessionals. yeeeeeah, not feeling it. buuut the performers are great. think they'll fit into world class just fine next yr.

I haven't watched anything today, but I'm looking at these prelims results like 👀. The Open class ones especially. The Texas units are dominating there. 6 potentially making it into a finals of 15? It's borderline like BOA Grand Nationals, if only it were world class and not open! Round Rock isn't that far away, either. We'll see what happens after semis. There could be some significant shifts. I'm not surprised seeing Little Elm on top over Noblesville based on what I saw earlier, but the two-point gap is unexpected. That's typically an insurmountable gap, but we'll see.

Melissa and Tomball Memorial breaking 90 in A class. At least a couple other Texas ones winning their rounds, too. Lots of 89s. We'll see if any of them can make the push onto the podium tomorrow night. That could be challenging.

The Woodlands winning world class prelims by 2 points is just about the least surprising result today. Congrats to them in advance. 👍

[Rubisco]

The top 3 at each A class site.

Cintas: Pope (93.050), Clovis North (92.900), and Melissa (90.850)

Truist: Grain Valley (90.640), River Bluff (90.560), and Tomball Memorial (90.500)

I hesitate when comparing scores across two different panels, but it's worth noting that Pope and Clovis North are more comfortably Box 5 than the others. 3rd place looks like more of a question mark.

[Tubalord11]

Congratulations to team Texas on a historic day!! First place in 2 classes and 3rd in another with a ton of groups going to semis in SA and SO!! Would be crazy to take gold in two, and possibly silver and bronze in two as well! Gonna try and watch as possible tomorrow but I’ve got a pretty busy day, but again amazing job everyone!!

Got to catch Katy Wylie and Jordan and all 3 were fantastic!!! No major drops or anything, think all 3 will perform again tonight! 

[Tubalord11]

Jordan Katy and Wylie going 1 2 and 4 in round 1 of SA!! 

[Tubalord11]

Someone give me one reason why that won’t win tomorrow night, bc I simply can’t find one. 
Today was better (I think),the bodywork felt more in time all around, especially during the mixed rifle/flag work right before the slower section. No drops once again. 

People are going to be losing it tomorrow, more so than they were today. It’s just unreal what they are doing, amazing job TWs! 

[WoodlandsMom4ever]

TWHS was incredible in person. Tomorrow night the roof is going to blow off with the crowd… 

There really are so many great shows this year!  If you’ve never been to Dayton to watch in person- put it on your bucket list and make it happen!  

[Tubalord11]

Score update!! Melissa and Tomball Memorial go 1 and 2 in SA round 2 with Melissa Almaty scoring a 92 (91.915😭)!!

The Woodlands remain in first with a 95.5, followed by Arcadia and Carmel (93.6 and 93.1)

[TTM6600]

How soon will they post SA Round 3 scores?

noooooo, FIU missed out on finals!! i really wanted a multicam w/ Hannibal Lecter.

Fantasia on top. if i were forced to pick likeliest gold medalist heading into Dayton it would have been them. not in love w/ the design, kinda recycled, but it checks a lot of the other boxes. + they have like a bajillion performers cleanly tossing 7s and higher on weapon.
