WGI IW 2009

Post by guarddude » Tue Mar 10, 2009 7:08 pm

With two heavy hitters out of the picture, the IW 2009 crown is up for grabs. I though NEI was going to sweep it but SCV looks like it's making its move, not to mention Blessed Sac. You may discuss now.

I hear NEI is out of this world. But I have yet to see their show! :( SCV is AMAZING! They are my fav. in this race.
I am NOT too old for this!

I'd rather be Dreaming... in a tree.

I have never performed in cologuard but have been a colorguard mom for years. Because of this, I have always relied on the colorguard to express the music either in Corps or Winterguard for me to get the show or theme.
Prior to SCV 2009 show I have always loved 2004 Northern Lights, Road to Predition as I saw the movie heard the music which made me to really appreciate their show as I got it. SCV really interpets the music as I get it. Some shows I just do not get . I really hope SCV gets it this year as that show is meaningful and beautiful.

Well this is just my thought.

Both groups are absolutely amazing no doubt. They definitely stepped it up this year, especially with the absence of the two dominating IW guards of these past few years. NEi has the technique and the GE, and Vanguard has emotions running off the floor like crazy Friday as well as technique and GE. Perhaps I am being biased, because i saw Vanguard show live, but I can see Vanguard taking it this year. Their show was awesome, I can't even put it in words. I just wish I could be going to Dayton so I can see the magic happen...

I recently watched SCV and Corona live at the San Diego Regional. I'll tell you this, do not underestimate Corona. Their show is pretty amazing! In typical Corona fashion they do some really crazy stuff!

I will give props to SCV they are going to be tough to take, can't comment on NEI, haven't seen their show, might go watch on WGI Fan Network.

With 3 weeks until Championships I can only imagine what the UD Arena on April 4th is going to be like!!

I'm sorry...I'm not trying to put down any guard, but that Vanguard show has to be one of the most BORING IW guard shows I have ever watched. The kids are obviously trained well and spin and dancing very nicely...but the show is a snoozer.

I agree...I think Aimachi will come and WOW their way into a gold medal. If not NEI will certianly take it.
