2010 WGI Advisory Board Meeting Results

The beautiful city of Orlando played host to the Color Guard Advisory Board and Percussion Advisory Board meetings this past weekend. The Advisory Boards are made up of finalists from the 2010 World Championships.
"This past weekend showed the progressive and positive views of how instructors feel about the state of indoor color guard and percussion ensembles today and for the future," said Executive Director Ron Nankervis. "The open-minded approach of the Color Guard Advisory Board towards eliminating some of the rules in World Class in favor of knocking down creative barriers was matched by the Percussion Advisory Board in listening to new electronic sampling techniques through an interactive presentation by Tony Nunez from South Hills High School. We should encourage and celebrate these ideas that set the stage for the next generation of WGI." Both boards voted on several proposals posted prior to the meeting. Proposals which "pass" at this meeting are then sent on for final approval in July by the WGI Board of Directors before implementation.

DrumSpirit has resorted to staying at a motel in Cleveland. "At the moment it looks like the next flight for the entire group has been scheduled from Newark, New York, on Monday, 26th April, getting them home to Brussels via Frankfurt on Tuesday, 27th April", the percussion ensemble from Dadizele states on their BLOG (Dutch language). The stranded drummers have asked their colleagues who stayed behind in Belgium to notify schools and their employers of the situation.
"In the coming hours we will be looking into how best to resolve this bizarre situation and keep up the team spirit", says DrumSpirit. The group advises people to keep an eye on their blog for updates and to avoid unnecessary calls to the emergency number. Tonight at 7 pm there will be a meeting in the clubhouse for those who stayed behind to discuss the situation.

The 2008 & 2009 WGI Independent World Champions have been a force in indoor percussion for a long time now. RhythmX switched to Dynasty for its ensemble in 2004. Since then the group has won two gold medals,two silver medals, and a bronze. The RhythmX ensemble will be reaching for a third gold medal in a row this April at WGI World Championships.
“RhythmX is excited to extend our relationship with Dynasty. Since we have made the switch to Dynasty in 2004 we have had the best products and service that is second to none.I have never worked with a percussion company that offers such personalized service. The Dynasty team is constantly working with us and other leading ensembles to make a superior product even better. The new drums we have this year at RhythmX have depth and articulation that no other company can match or come close to. The unique custom finish and the craftsmanship that went into these drums is unbelievable. The new Dynasty drums allow the members of RhythmX to perform at their best with a product that exceeds our expectations. Dynasty has just finished a new carrier design that is ahead of its time. The new carrier eliminates the J-bar system and replaces it with a state of the art mounting system. This mounting system makes it very easy for the members to attach and detach the drums multiple times in our 2010 production. When the design staff took a look at this new system began to think of ways to use the drums as an actual stage for the performers. What other carrier on the market would provide the strength needed to send a member running across the tops of the drums?" said Craig Dunn executive director of RhythmX.
“We are excited about our continued relationship with RhythmX. The educators and design staff at Rhythm X are the best in the business. Tim Fairbanks, Andrew Markworth, Tim Jackson, and Craig Dunn are constantly changing the game to put the ensemble on top year after year." said Mark Reynolds ,Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Dynasty.
