As each weekend goes by, we get closer and closer to the official start of WGI season...which is... by the way... this Saturday. Yes, WGI does not come to FloMarching until February 9th (in Riverside, CA & Dallas, TX) but that doesn't mean groups aren't already out strutting their stuff!

Over the past weekend, Pulse & POW had a preview show which means they pulled back the curtains on their 2019 programs; plus some other groups decided to show off an early season sneak peek as well.

Pulse Percussion's 2019 Show "Divided We Fall"

The group's announcement post releasing their 2019 program only has one sentence in the caption: "with every mistake, we must surely be learning..."

The image appears to be a conference room table with a peace sign on it, surrounded by black, high-backed chairs. The show graphic is mirrored by an actual image from their preview show, including a look at their new costumes, as seen in the header image.

As a part of their social media blast over the weekend, the group uploaded videos focused on just their snares and just their quads. They also went so far as to do a Facebook live video of their entire warm-up for the preview show.

Florida Groups Hop In

Stryke Percussion and Infinity are two groups that are basically household names in the southeastern United States. Over the last two weeks, Infinity has released the 2019 programs for each of its three percussion groups—one in Percussion Independent World, one in Open, and one in A class.

Infinity seems to be going with a circus, "greatest show on Earth"-esque program as you can see below. 

As the reigning WGI World Championships Fan Favorite, Stryke Percussion has a lot to live up to in 2019. The group was a huge hit last year with their yeti looking costumes representing the monster from The Twilight Zone episode "Nightmare At 20,000 Feet," not to mention their masks and the giant plane fuselage they rolled into UD Arena.

Anyway, the group is back at it in 2019 with a different kind of mask...
