CONGRATULATIONS WDMB!
2017 Tournament of Bands, Region I, Group 2, Open Class Champions!

It's been an amazing week!  We came off our home show and went right into another busy week.  We had WD Middle School Night and Senior Recognition night in the middle of our biggest home FB game of the season.  Thank you to all of our hard working parents who came out to yield another successful event.

Thank you to our band parents who again came through on our prop lattice additions.  The staircases never looked better!

Thank you to everyone who came out to support us at Eastern Regional HS. There is no doubt that our parents, family and friends are in the stands!  We hear you and we love it!  Our score of 97.30 was not only the highest score of our Regional Championship, it is the highest score in the entire Tournament of Bands Association!  This is also a WDHS record high Regional championship score.  Our previous high score was 96.45 set in 2014.  We are so proud of what our students are staff have created this year and we know we still have work to do...

Last night we handed out all of our band pictures.  If you ordered pictures and didn't get them OR if something is missing from your order please contact the photographer directly: JMJ Photography - John Jablonowski (856) 845-8066

We know what band has "El Corazon!" 

• Our 44th Annual "Music in Cadence" TOB Competition went amazingly. 
• The weather was cooperative and we gave 24 bands a great performance opportunity. 
• Saturday night the WDMB set a new record high score for our home show!
• The WDMB took sole ownership of the top of Group II Open Competition! 
• The WDMB is now the highest scoring band in the entire TOB circuit (209 HS bands!).  
• Final Regular Season Rankings are here: 2017

This weekend would not have been the absolute success it was without our Band Parents organization.  We cannot thank our band Parents enough.  Everyone who came out to help with the home show were amazing.  Thank you all for your time and dedication to making that evening very special.  I want to give special shout outs to our Band Parents Executive Board for all of their time, planning and execution which made the show run so smoothly.

I want to thank one of our band parents, Jeff Hatfield, for his amazing art work designs for our t-shirts & program cover.  Truly amazing!

Finally thank you to everyone who came out to both shows and cheered us on.  It is obvious who's family and friends "bring it" to each show.  Your cheers are our fuel and we love it.  

And The (Heart) Beat Goes On...
