They’re here.

Every year of early April, thousands of winter guard performers, directors, staff, parents and friends descend upon Dayton for the WGI – Winter Guard International – Championships.

And, I love it!

At Walmart I ran into a gaggle of guard moms from Reno, Nevada, having the best time.

“We just love Dayton, Ohio. You are the nicest people.”

Yes, we are.

I may try to see a contest at Nutter Center or UD Arena.

Next weekend, the winter/indoor percussion ensembles will arrive for their finals.
