WDMB - WEEKEND UPDATES

Here are some updates and reminders about this weekend's performances and activities...

FRIDAY - PLAYOFF FOOTBALL
Tonight, we have playoff football at Gloucester City HS. We usually do not perform our field show at away games due to the logistics involved. This week is an exception. We will be performing our “Drawn In” production pregame to take advantage of having another uniformed run-through on a turf field. Being that GHS is only 5 miles from WDHS, we can make this all happen easily.

All percussion members are asked to report directly to GCHS at 4:30pm. This will allow them to unload, setup and have a proper warmup. They should arrive in full uniform. Everyone will be bused back to WDHS after the game.

All winds and color guard are to report to the WDHS at 4:30pm. We will load up and then head over asap.
We expect to perform @6:45pm. If you have been helping with our pit crew, we welcome your assistance tonight as well.
