Our 2nd week of competition has been very eventful!  It was a week full of rainy, miserable weather, but nothing stops the WDMB!  We were able to finish the final part of our show and perform it with confidence and poise. On Saturday we had our first indoor competition since 2009.  On Sunday we took our show to Madison HS and enjoyed performing on the artificial turf.  We are now crossing the midpoint of the regular season.  

Competitively the band is really coming on strong.  At the Brick Memorial show we earned FIRST PLACE in our group along with best color guard, best percussion and the Mayor's Award for highest scoring group in the entire show!  We also took the award for best pit crew! On Sunday we traveled 2 hours to Madison HS and we kept our performance level strong.  We earned FIRST PLACE in our group and took the award for best percussion.  We were also the highest scoring band in the entire show. The WDMB is representing WDHS proudly and with distinction.

In the overall TOB standings, WDMB fell to the #2 position this week.  Our score of 87.15 put us .45 behind our friends from Maryland, Allegany HS.  Its going to be tight competition going into the final weeks of the season.
