2012 WGI CG Championships Highlights

Take a look back on all the excitement during our 35th anniversary color guard championships at UD arena. See you next year!

[@AverageRockstar37]

you can just see the passion and love these performers have for their shows win or lose nothings beats the joy of a beautiful performance

[@bronwen-paige694]

When people ask "What's colorguard?" This. This is the video we need to show them.

[@themaximum97]

This video is what inspired me to join my school's winterguard this past season. Thanks WGI :)

[@edwardcullen221]

UGH Aaron Palmer. So thankful I got to be there for all of this. Best week of my life.

[@Fox00780]

I go to a really small school (well, comparitively), and our guard is very old-traditional...so we don't do anything like this. But I have been taking steps further. As the first male (of 2 this year) to EVER be on my schools color guard, I've been self-teaching myself things I see from videos like this. I'm told now I'm the best at my school but...that's my fellow student's opinion. I just want to say that it's these guards, (notably the other guys in them) that inspire me to always get better.

[@froggie59]

Thanks! Color guard is his life. Performing and teaching.

[@farrahatkinson5207]

This was my freshman year. What I’d give to go back and do it all over again ❤

[@zoed3429]

Chills... Just so amazing...

[@SHdrummerguy08]

performing at WGI finals is a pretty big deal. You only get that far by giving everything you have, and searching for more to give. Finishing a finals performance in Dayton is one of the most emotional moments for a WGI performer

[@edwardcullen221]

The most beautiful video. this season was one of the greatest of my life. Loved Dayton!

[@greentness]

Great highlights!! I wish I was there to watch the shows live, I miss guard so much. One of these days I will go to wgi cause nothing beats watching guard shows live. :)

[@malloriebrooke3026]

gotta love First Flight

[@marcopolo57241996]

My Guard is going to Wgi world championships next year. I'm excited. I cried when my director told me that we are going. It's going to be an honor and a dream fulfilled

[@Queenjazzyjae]

Watching this makes me miss color guard so much. Those were some of the best years of my life.

[@TaylorMatheny88]

Honestly, I never really payed much attention to this and always though i could easily do it. After seeing this, I have a new found respect for this sport.(:

[@kodymalas]

This is so inspirational. It gave me chills. The juniors freshman year we took third. So we were ranked third in the world.

[@dramafreak210]

I LOVE THIS SPORT I DON'T EVEN WANT TO THINK ABOUT THE DAY I GET TO OLD TO SPIN!

[@bagussoo]

Forever grateful for this.

[@canalbandashow]

*Um grande momento, Saudações do Brasil*

[@TheLurkingDucks]

Gives me chills each time I see the rifle with the rose. Amazing video! :) It makes me love being in guard even more!

[@caitysmith8062]

Very inspirational, love this so much. I'll have to show my girls this video. Well done whoever put this together. :D

[@chervilify]

Alright for those asking who the guard is with the boxes, that's actually my former guard (Rena l. Shaw) and this was my sophomore year of high school. This is the Lawrence central high school scholastic world guard and the show was called "the box" it was created by my former coach and genius Becca Renne Sullens and David lee Crook( which by the way is a member of onyx). alright there you have it guys!!! dut dut out

[@quashawnjinwright5060]

is it not on youtube? the full routine?

[@leeshapesh09]

You're not crazy at all. I drove 6 hours every friday morning my senior year of HS to march a world guard in SC because there were only A guards in my area (and I had already marched 3 years with one). It was exhausting, and REALLY hard to drive back 6 hours after a full weekend up rehearsals..but it was the best season I've ever had!

[@vysov]

This was something I always wanted to be able to do as a kid. I still really wish I was able to do any of this.

[@LillyBear86]

Man i wish i could do that again. Last time i went to wgi was in 2004 when i graduated. It was our third time going.

[@starcutie41532]

Got to see O2 and Pride of Cincinnati at the Tristate Championships it was an Honor

[@Skoben2000]

Hi ya DCI Dancer, The name of this song is called "Seranata Immortale" and it's by the group "Immediate Music" It is off of their album entitled "Trailerhead". ENJOY! :-)~

[@lilyrocks5]

I wish they would make a 2013 one so my school's show could be in it! This is just so inspirational.

[@Fox00780]

In any case (I ran out of room) thank you to all the guards in this video.. Well, for doing what you do, it helps. :) -Wolfy2

[@WGISportOfTheArts]

If you want to watch 2012 performances you can purchase the DVDs through our shop or you can get a Fan Network subscription

[@jojorenegade]

Remember, you can keep spinng in summer with a DCA corps. I did it from 45-49. Everyone in my family thought I was crazy O.o but it was great.

[@gabrielled7335]

Oh man, this is the song we used in my guard's show last spring! (Age of Discovery, by Immediate Music) Holy Jesus in a leotard, it's exciting to hear it again, now that I'm out of high school...

[@sugoikawaiidesu]

That was utterly beautiful. I've been too scared to watch any WGI performances because I don't want to compare how awful our high school winterguard team is to amazing performances like these guards.

[@astoldbydanielle6611]

I was so close in going into finals, next year Norwalk will get it.

[@flappysabre]
