The 2018 WGI Winds World Championships will feature 46 competing units ... a steady increase from the 20, 33 and 35 units that appeared in the first three championships after the new division was established in 2015. In 2014, Aimachi (Nagoya, Japan) and Northglenn Performance Theatre (Colorado) performed stunning exhibitions as a preview of how the new WGI Winds format could look.
