So what is Winter Percussion Season?  According to Winter Guard International (WGI) it is a "completely unique activity that combines of many of the best elements of a jazz band, symphonic ensemble, marching band, theater production, stage musical, and sports team. These multiple influences combine to create a completely unique performing arts experience". It is referred to as "The Sport of the Arts". Units consist of marching percussion called the "battery" and a front ensemble called the "pit".
