Atlantic Indoor Association facilitates competitions throughout Virginia and North Carolina and serves more than 200 member units – including Winterguard, Percussion and Winds groups. The AIA Hall of Honor recognizes those notable individuals who have contributed to the legacy of success in the circuit – including current and former AIA Directors, Instructors and Judges as well as AIA Leadership, Board Members and Staff. AIA seeks to recognize individuals who have given most of their lives to supporting the indoor performing arts while influencing and inspiring many of the next generation of talented instructors and performers in the Winterguard, Percussion and Winds activities within AIA and WGI. Nominations are reviewed by the AIA Board of Directors and current AIA Hall of Honor members.
