This week an amazing season will come to a close.  This past Saturday the WDMB literally shined brightly in two Christmas parades.  We could not be anymore proud of how well the performed for the capacity crowds.  The community of West Deptford Twp. was represented very, very well.

This week we will have our final performance of the season.  We have a small parade event at the Riverwinds complex.  Students will report directly to the Riverwinds Community Center where the below map says Parking Area. The band will be in the same attire as this past weekend's parades. Full uniform & Santa hats. Similar to the Amazon event, all students will be responsible for their own transportation to and from the event.

Wrapping things up and moving forward…
=> All Band & Color Guard uniforms need to be returned by 12/18. 
     All band uniforms must be returned as they were issued - on 2 separate band hangers.  
     Uniforms will be sent to the cleaners during the break.
     Nothing should be left in the garment bag except the uniform. No shoes. No gloves, No socks.
=> Please return your freshly washed polo shirt in a Ziploc freezer bag with your name written on it by 12/18.
=> Be sure to stow your band cap & band shoes away in a safe place, you will need them again in the spring!

AMAZON PERFORMANCE
Student can wear casual clothing with band/guard jackets.

Students will report directly to Amazon at 5:10pm.

MIDDLE SCHOOL PERFORMANCE
Tuesday, 11/19 - WD Middle School Performance (am) 
    The WDMB is traveling to the middle school. We will be performing two assemblies.
    => Percussion students are asked to report directly to the MS by 7:15am.
    => All HS winds and color guard are to report to the HS at 7:00am.  Students will then change into full uniform, load on buses and be on our way by 7:30am.

IMPORTANT!
There are many performances including 2 possible football games and the Salem & West Cape May Christmas parades before this season is complete.  While our largest focus is usually on our TOB competitions, we must now keep up our energy and attendance until the end.  Students who do not meet these final performance obligations will not receive any band awards/honors.  This is not the time for students to disappear.  The full band has obligations and just because they are “only football games” students are not to schedule other events or create conflicts. Every performance is important and every member is obligated to be in attendance!
