Vic Firth Interview with John Mapes and Ian Grom
John Mapes and Ian Grom
are the “dynamic duo” behind the success of
many of Southern California's top A, Open and World Class
ensembles. Altogether, the groups that they have designed
and taught for have been medalists at the WGI Championships
SIX times since 2005!
Vic Firth Salutes Jay
Webb and Dave Marvin WGI 2008 Hall of Fame Inductees
The Hall of Fame is the highest honor to those individuals
who make a significant contribution to WGI, and who
have in some way influenced the course of our history.
Their contribution may be made through artistic standards,
administrative leadership or adjudication.
