Organizations/Groups

Mid East Performance Association

Mid East Performance Association (MEPA) is a subcircuit of Winter Guard International (WGI) that holds competitions all over the state of Ohio beginning in January and lasts through April. 

Winter Guard International

The Color Guard Division is the foundation of WGI Sport of the Arts. Founded in 1978, the Color Guard division became a new art form that captured the interest of countless young people across the country. The growth of this division has been unparalleled in the history of Pageantry.

Combining theater, dance, and the joy of performance, with the cornerstone of equipment spinning and flying through the air, this new entity soon filled a large void in our schools as cutbacks in music and the arts left many students unfulfilled. Supportive parents aided in the funding of this growing beautiful activity. Students thrived and grew from the experience, and WGI continues today to lead the growth and fulfill the potential of this unique "art form".

Ohio Indoor Performance Association

The Ohio Indoor Performance Association is Ohio's newest premier Indoor Circuit for winter guards, lines, and indoor percussion ensembles.  The circuit is based out of Columbus and is a circuit by the people, for the people. We listen to all ideas and do not discriminate between Independent and Scholastic groups or the class they compete in. Their goal is "Success on ALL Levels"  They take the Educational experience to the next level with Video Critiques with the judges, performers and staff.  OIPA is based on the idea of fostering educational and competitive experience for all participants; performers, staff, audiences, and judges alike.
