Winter Percussion is a unique and visually captivating performance activity that blends music, movement, and theatrical elements. Unlike traditional concert band or jazz ensembles, these groups incorporate a mix of battery (marching) and pit percussion to create a high-energy, immersive experience. The competition operates under the guidance of Winter Guard International (WGI) and the Rocky Mountain Percussion Association (RMPA), ensuring a professional and structured environment for student musicians to excel.

Fossil Ridge High School is proud to host the Winter Guard International (WGI) Denver Percussion Regional, a premier competition that brings together top percussion ensembles from across the region. This event showcases the incredible talent, precision, and creativity of young musicians in an electrifying performance setting. Whether you're a community member looking for an exciting live event or a participating ensemble preparing for competition, this page provides all the essential details. The WGI Regional is an all-day event with prelims running from 1 PM- 3:30 PM and finals running from 5:30 PM to 8 PM. 

Rules & Guidelines: Participating groups should review official WGI and RMPA regulations for performance expectations.
