WOODBRIDGE, Va. — Woodbridge High School will host the Woodbridge Viking Invitational Indoor Percussion and Winter Guard competition on Saturday. The competition, which opens to the public at 8 a.m., will be held at the high school, located at 3001 Old Bridge Road in Woodbridge. More than 60 groups from high schools and colleges have registered to compete.
Tickets are $10 (cash only) payable at the door. Concessions will also be available for sale. Winter guard and indoor percussion are the fastest growing of the marching arts, and high school marching bands benefit from the skills developed in these winter programs. These include elements of music, choreography, and theater in color guard and percussion units.
Saturday’s competition is sponsored by the Atlantic Indoor Association (AIA), which was formed in 1994 to support and benefit organizations which engage in, or support, youth activities in the performing arts. AIA currently offers contests throughout Virginia and North Carolina. With more than 300 member units, AIA is one of the largest circuits in the nation.
