Rhythm X Is Headed South!

Mar 20

X15 is at The WGI Mid-South Championships THis Weekend.

Each year hundreds of thousands of fans and supporters get their Rhythm X fix through eXtra Access and YouTube. That's because Rhythm X usually stays in Ohio. Luckily, this weekend we're going to hang out with a few lucky fans at the WGI Mid-South Regional in Bowling Green, KY. That's right, Rhythm X is leaving the Buckeye State for its annual trip down South.

This weekend is our busiest to date. This afternoon all 84 cast members, 32 staff members, 8 volunteers, 5 interns, and 2 drivers are heading to Kentucky. Altogether we'll serve 8 meals, perform 4 shows, and greet thousands of supporters at The X Store.

We want you all to get the most out of our stay in KY. All of our rehearsals are open to the public. Check out our schedule below so you can come say hi! Both Winds and Percussion will spend some quality time outside at South Warren High School in Bowling Green and you can check everything out with props and uniforms during our four performances at E.A. Diddle Arena.
