We’re back with a Quick Sip from the 2025 WGI Circuit Symposium! Ricardo Robinson-Shinall chats with WGI’s Director of Operations, Bart Woodley, about circuit safety, leadership, and how WGI is uniting the marching arts in 2025 and beyond.

We’re on the ground at the WGI Circuit Symposium, and Ricardo is bringing you a no-chairs-needed Quick Sip with the one and only Bart Woodley. In this short-form bonus episode, they dive into key takeaways from the symposium: from safety protocols and post-COVID updates to the launch of WGI’s Participant Protection Program.

Whether you’re a circuit director, instructor, or just a curious band kid — this episode gives a rare behind-the-scenes peek at how WGI is supporting over 150,000 performers across the country. It’s fast, focused, and full of insights.
