​Due to the predicted unhealthy air quality conditions, we postponed our trip To Dorney Park.
​The trip has been rescheduled for Wednesday, June 21, 2023.

Wednesday, June 21, 2023 - Itinerary

• 8:45am Report to WDHS/board buses
• 9:00am Depart for Dorney Park

• 3:00pm – Check in with staff, Location: TBD
• 8:30pm - Meet at main entrance
• 9:00pm - Depart for WD

Now that the trip has a different date, this may impact individuals in one of 2 ways:

1. New date allows someone who had a prior conflict to attend. :)
2. New date causes a conflict and prevents someone from attending. :(

 
Good news! Any student who would like to now attend who was not originally on the trip can still get on board.
Please complete and return this form long with payment by Tuesday, June 13.
 
Any student who cannot attend must request a refund by Tuesday, June 13th.
​Due to the prepaid nature of this event, we cannot offer any refunds after Tuesday, June 13, 2023.
Please complete the following form: Refund request form

The refund form will ask the following info:

• Trip Participant’s First & Last Name
• Requested Action (Choose one):

1. Please apply my current payment balance towards next year's band & choir trip.
2. Please refund my out-of-pocket payments as soon as possible, when available.

• If you requested to have your out-of-pocket payments refunded, to whom would you like the check be made?

If you have always been on the trip and still plan on attending, there is nothing you need to do. We are assuming all who were signed up are still planning on attending unless a refund request is made.

Thank you for your flexibility while we work to ensure we have a great experience together.

Jingle! Jingle! Jingle! This week we will have a couple of performances and one rehearsal to finish our 2022 season.  This Tuesday & Thursday we have performances at the Amazon Distribution facility. On Saturday we have 2 parades!  These are great community parades, and we have a lot of fun participating in them.  Students should think about and prepare for the cold evening weather and "layer up" under their uniforms.  

AMAZON - Tuesday & Thursday (Musicians only, no color guard)
Attire: Any WD Jackets or festive gear. Santa hats are great!
The WDMB was invited to play at the WD Amazon facility. This is the beginning of their seasonal shifts are we were asked if we could come out and provide some holiday cheer for their new workers. We will be perfoming outside, beginning at 6pm.

Everyone will meet directly at the Amazon facility. We will gather at the front corner of the building (closest to RT295) at 5:30pm. Anyone needing to pick up their equipment (drums) can meet Mr. Kershaw at 5pm at the HS to get their instrument. We will play from 6pm-6:30pm. Anyone needing to return instruments can do so immediately following.

PARADES - Saturday (Full Band)
=> On Saturday, students will need money for lunch.  We will be stopping at a shopping center where there are several fast food restaurants to chose from.  
=> Dinner will be provided at the end of the West Cape May parade by our band parents.  
=> All musicians will need a red & white Santa hat for the parades.  We will be using these in place of our uniform hats.
