There are going to be three amazing regional events coming to you live, exclusively on FloMarching, beginning Saturday, Feb. 18, and continuing on Sunday, Feb. 19. Let's take a look at what's happening.

WGI Indianapolis Color Guard Regional

The Indianapolis regional is one of the largest guard regionals of the year with 70-plus ensembles competing in every classification. It's so big there are two venues for this event. 

On Saturday morning, Scholastic A will begin at Hamilton Southeastern High School at 10 AM ET (all times local). A total of 37 A-Class guards in four rounds will be competing for a spot in the semifinals later on Saturday night.

Just a few miles away at Warren Central High School, the remaining classifications will be performing with another 43 guards filling out the Indianapolis Regional, including 2016 Scholastic Open finalist Francis Howell North and several 2016 Scholastic World finalists such as Center Grove, Avon, Miamisburg, Carmel, and Warren Central. 

And, of course, the 2016 Independent World Class Champion Pride of Cincinnati are scheduled to perform as well. 

WGI Dayton Percussion/Winds Regional

In Dayton, Ohio, there will be a different energy inside the gym and earplugs will definitely be needed. The WGI's Percussion and Winds division will have over 30 ensembles rocking the inside of James Trent Arena. 

Winds will get things going at 10 AM on Saturday, Feb. 18. Of note, the Cavaliers' newest WGI ensemble called Chromium Winds will be making their WGI debut.

Victor J. Andrew High School, winner of the 2016 World Championship in Scholastic A, has moved up to the Open division and will be performing as well. 

The Independent World division will be a barn burner. Five ensembles that made the 2016 World Championship Finals will be performing in Dayton.

WGI Pasadena Percussion/Winds Regional

On the West Coast, some of the world's best indoor drumlines will be featured as a part of the WGI Pasadena Percussion and Winds Regional. The performances get started at 10 AM with three groups from the Winds division. 

Thirty-three percussion ensembles are to follow, including some of the biggest names in the sport. Arcadia High School which made Open Class Finals in 2016 at the World Championships, will be performing along with a stacked World Class.

Chino Hills, the 2015 world champion, will be representing the Scholastic World Class. Then, 2016 Independent World Class finalists Dark Sky Percussion, RCC, POW Percussion, and Broken City will be taking the floor along with reigning Independent World champion Pulse Percussion.
