The 2009 WGI World Color Guard Championships have now come and gone, and it was once again a week full of amazing performance and experiences.

The week started out wonderfully with the induction of FJM's own Marlene Miller into the WGI Hall of Fame. WGI put on a top notch ceremony with video highlights of Marlene's long storied career in pageantry.

Once the guard performances began, it was easy to see this was going to be one of the best WGI events ever. Strong performances seemed to be the trend of the weekend, and it all culminated in World Class Finals on Saturday night. Here are the World Class Finalists that wore designs constructed by FJM:

Independent World Class

5.) Blessed Sacrament - 92.4
7.) Zydeco Colorguard - 91.8
9.) Crown Guard - 87.8
11.) The Knights - 86.1
15.) Sacred Heart - 81.5

Scholastic World Class

2.) James Logan HS - 95.6
3.) Flanagan HS - 93.8
9.) Miamisburg HS - 87.3
12.) Centerville HS - 83.5

FJM would like to congratulate all of the groups that made their way to Dayton for the 2009 Championships. See you again next year!
