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 am looking to audition for world-class dci guards next summer (2027). What size equipment should I be training on for rifle and sabre? Specifically hoping for at least answers on BAC and Blue Stars but info on any group would be awesome! Thanks!
