2024 Board Nominations and PnP Proposals

Congratulations on an amazing 2024 season! Here is what will be taking place at the May membership meeting.

UPCOMING BUSINESS:

The May Membership meeting will be held in person at Williams Field High School (2076 S Higley Road, Gilber, AZ 85295) on Saturday, May 4th at 1:00PM.

The Color Guard and Percussion/Winds Advisory Board meetings will precede the membership meeting on Saturday, May 4th at 11:00 AM at Williams Field HS.

During the Color Guard Advisory Board meeting, four proposed amendments will be voted on, with all guard units eligible to participate in the voting process. To review the items up for vote, please refer to the May 2024 Proposed Bylaws and Policies and Procedures document, and find the section labeled as 'Color Guard Units'.

The Percussion/Winds Advisory Board, composed of the WGAZ Executive Board and one delegate from the previous year’s medalist of each class or class division, must attend the annual meeting or forfeit their position on the Advisory Board. For your unit to maintain its place on the advisory board, you must send a representative to a meeting in May and September meetings. Your representative must appear on your published staff list for the 2024 season and a representative can only represent one ensemble. If you choose to not attend this meeting, your ensemble will forfeit its advisory board membership and any benefits that go along with that designation.
