THE WDMB IS DETERMINED.  This past Saturday the WDMB stood the tallest among tough competition and was the highest scoring Open Class band at the Clearview TOB. On Sunday, the WDMB was only in competition with themselves and turned in their best performance of the season and broke into the 90's. Again, the WDMB was the highest scoring unit in the entire show. The WDMB is getting traction and is currently ranked #2 in Group II Open Class, and ranked #4 in all TOB (215 bands).

Even with a rain-soaked rehearsal week, the WDMB took a huge step forward this week by completing the entire show.  The show was put together on Friday night and performed for the first time the very next day!  This is amazing and speaks to the drive and passion our members have for their performance.  The Brick performance was exciting and we can't wait to get back to work and dig further into our program.

As always, we know this is not possible without our dedicated volunteers and cheering supporters coming out to help us with this production.  Thank you to everyone who made the journey to see & support us at Brick!

=> Thank you to the parents who come in to feed everyone on show days!
=> Thank you to all of the parents who worked to prepare our props this week!
=> Thank you to our truck drivers who took us down the road safely!
=> Thank you to all of our pit crew for the hard work you do to set props & pit equipment.

We are now half way through our regular season.  We have two more weeks of regular shows before championships.  We will continue to refine and develop our program.  We've been getting great feedback from judges which will help us define our concepts and performance quality.  

PARENTS!!! Tonight we have our most important parents meeting of the year!  It's our last meeting before our Home Show and we need you!! Please make every effort to come out tonight 8pm.  Thank you!!!

This week we will return to our normal rehearsal nights Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday. 

This Saturday we walk into our biggest competition of the season as we go head to head with 5 other Group II Open bands!  We need as many WDMB supporters in the stands this week!  Grab everyone you know and get them to Clearview this week!  The competition lineup is here: Clearview Lineup
