Mid-March is fast approaching, which means that it's getting close to crunch time for the 2023 WGI season. This past weekend, March 11-12, audiences across the nation saw hundreds of ensembles compete and display high levels of achievement while being rewarded with even higher scores. Unfortunately, one regional was cut short due to weather, resulting in a handful of percussion ensembles only competing one time this weekend instead of twice. Here's a breakdown of how the scoring shook out at each regional.
