I don’t know about you, but I go through some serious withdrawal during the time between the end of marching band season and the start of indoor. I imagine that sports fans experience similar feelings when their respective seasons end. Fortunately for me, my marching drought is about to come to an end. My camera, smartphone, and tablet are ready to join me in celebrating the many performances the indoor color guards, percussion, and winds groups are about to present to us over the next few months.
Below is my current schedule of indoor shows I plan to attend:
- 2024/01/21 – OIPA premiere, Marion, OH
- 2024/02/03 – OIPA Central Crossing HS
- 2024/02/04 – OIPA Olentangy Liberty HS
- 2024/02/24-25 – OIPA Springfield Holland HS
- 2024/03/16 – OIPA Reynoldsburg HS (Color guard only)
- 2024/03/24 – OIPA Marion Harding HS (Percussion only)
- 2024/04/06 – OIPA Color Guard State Championships, Wapakoneta, OH
- 2024/04/07 – OIPA Percussion State Championships, Wapakoneta, OH
- 2024/04/11-13 – WGI Color Guard World Championships, Dayton, OH
- 2024/04/18-20 – WGI Percussion World Championships, Dayton, OH
- 2024/04/20-21 – WGI Winds World Championships, Dayton, OH
If you will be at any of these shows, whether as a performer, staff member, parent, volunteer, or fan, be sure to find me and introduce yourself. I always love to meet my fellow marching arts enthusiasts.
I also plan on watching performances when I can on FloMarching, especially groups I won’t be able to see live this season. You’ll catch me on social media if I’m watching from home.
