WGI prelims order announced!

Earlier this week WGI published the prelims order of performance, and made our trip to WGI even more real!

This will be our 7th trip to Dayton and is the first time we have a performance slot so late in the day.  We are all very excited about this draw since it means the guard will get to perform to a capacity crowd.

We also have the absolute honour of performing straight after Pride of Cincinnati.

To determine our order of performance, for international groups WGI asks that we send in a video performance and a committee reviews the shows and elects to put us in one of 3 blocks.  We are fortunate enough to be put in the last block this year, and hence the late performance time.  Let's just hope that jet lag isn't a problem but we will sleep in late on the Thursday.

For our European friends who will be watching on Fan Network it will be 3.50am (or 4.50am in Holland) Friday morning, so we hope a few of you will either stay up or set you alarms very early!
