WGI is mourning the loss of Marlene Miller, who passed away peacefully on April 1, surrounded by her beloved family, leaving behind a legacy that profoundly shaped the marching arts.

In addition to her decades of work with the Miller's Blackhawks, Miller, together with her husband Fred, founded Fred J. Miller, Inc., building it from humble beginnings in their garage into a pioneering force in the marching arts uniform industry.

WGI will remember her for her kindness, her vision, and the lasting inspiration she provided to all who knew her.

Did you know? The group traveling furthest to the 2026 WGI World Championships, at over 8,700 miles to Dayton, OH, is Benchamaracharungsarit School from Chachoengsao, Thailand!

In all, 10 international groups will be performing at championships this year!

You don't have to give big to make a big impact. Small, steady giving adds up in a huge way. A monthly gift of as little as $5 can help ensure performance and educational opportunities remain available for generations.
