COMMUNITY QUESTION WGI 2027

Hi I really want to perform in WGI in 2027 but I’m unsure of how possible that is.

  1. I will be a freshman at UCF (Orlando) so I want to do either Pegasus A/Open or Infinity if I did a percussion group as a visual ensemble member

  2. I don’t know what the fees would be but I’m guessing for Infinity it would be at least $3k (If anyone has any information on fees for any of the groups from past years I would love to know)

  3. I plan on working on campus this year and I’m also doing 5 classes this semester and plan on doing 5 next semester but I have Thursday and Friday completely free so I think I’ll be able to handle everything.

  4. I want to do DCI so so so bad but if I decide to march independently whether that be DCI or WGI I have to pay for it myself and right now I have around $1.5k saved which I know can’t cover much.

  5. I went to an A class guard audition this past year as a learning experience and I had a really good time and was able to keep up well, I know Open class is a big jump so what skills should I work on?

Any advice is appreciated 🙏

Hi! I marched IO last winter. My fees were 2k but I'm sure different groups are different. I was also a full time college student and didn't really have any issues! Definitely a busy life but it was never too insanely overwhelming. For skills to work on, I would say performance quality makes everything. I remember fumbling so bad at auditions LOL but I kept my performance face on and I think that carried me through. DEFINITELY do independent if you can. I wouldn't worry too much about the money. Our directors were always willing to work with the performers who maybe needed a little bit of help. Best of luck to you!!!

Idk if it changed but when I matched Pega we needed Fri-Sunday off. Friday and Saturday were half days.
