WGUK crown four 2010 Winterguard Champions
Saturday 3rd April bought to a close the 2010 winter season
with the 31st British Winterguard Championships held in
Brentwood, Essex.
47 competitive performances entertained the audience of over
1,000 which culminated in the crowning of the 4 UK Champions for
2010.
The event started with the 7 unit Open Class Preliminary
contest (which determined the order of performance for the
evening Finals) with Mayflower comfortably taking 1st Place and
Northern Academy and Southern Knights in 2nd and 3rd
respectively with less than 1 point separating them.
The 10 unit A Class Championships gave us the top 3, of (alphabetically)
Anchormen, Avengers & Southern Knights, to move forward to
the Play Offs whilst similarly the 9 unit Junior Class
Championships moved Mayflower, Southern Knights & SPICE into
their Play Offs. The scores for these units are not
announced and so the performance order for both the Play Offs
was drawn live in front of the audience.
In the Cadet Class Championships there were 8 units and
Southern Knights Rugrats were victorious as Champions with a
score of 94.3 with the Silver Medal going to Pegasus Cadets
(88.5) and very close behind with the Bronze Medal were
Anchormen Cadets (87.6).
The Junior Class Play Offs placed Southern Knights as
Champions scoring 94.0 and Mayflower in 2nd (86.1) and SPICE 3rd
(85.5)
For the A Class Play Offs, Southern Knights scored 91.5
putting them in Gold Medal position with Avengers taking Silver
(86.1) and Anchormen the Bronze (85.4)
Finally the Open Class Finals saw Mayflower hold onto the top
spot to be crowned UK Champions with a score of 93.8 with
Southern Knights moving up into 2nd place (88.5) and Northern
Academy taking the Bronze (87.3).
WGUK would like to thank all the 2010 competing units for
providing both entertaining and stunning performances over the
past 3 months and we look forward to the 32nd winter season in
2011.

Championships (and all other 2010 contests) can be found at our Results
