WE DID IT! This was a jam-packed weekend and the WDMB & Band Parents came through brighter than the Northern lights! The Alumni Mixer, Friday Night Football Concessions, Saturday Home Show, and Sunday's competition at Deptford HS were all amazing successes. THANK YOU does not express the true gratitude to everyone who contributed to any/all of these events. Great support mixed with great weather gave us great outcomes!

The WDMB had 3 amazing performances this weekend. Home football, Home Show (93.70) & Deptford TOB (94.30). After 3 strong performances, the WDMB is now sitting firmly on top of group II open class. Our score of 94.30 put the WDMB ranked #2 out of 151 bands in TOB. We are so proud of the passion our performers have to our program. They have really grown into a strong, cohesive unit and know how to sell this show.

At this point, we have completed 14 weeks of WDMB and are down to tour final 3 weeks of competitions. The next 3 weeks are our culminating performances as we drive through 3 rounds of championships.
Region I Championship - Sunday, 10/20
NJ State Championships - Saturday, 10/26
Atlantic Coast Championships (ACC's) - Saturday, 11/2

This week we have our Regional Championships at Eastern Regional HS. The WDMB is scheduled to perform at 5pm. This will be our closest show location so let's load the cars and get as many supporters to Eastern as we can. The score from this show will be used as our seed score for the ACC's. Tickets will be available starting Wednesday.
Adults $15
Students & Senior Citizens $10

We are so proud to be Grand Champions at both Millville and Madison TOB show. Saturday's score of 91.60 is the highest week 5 Saturday score in WDMB history. This beat our previous high score of 91.50 set in 2019. This is a testament to all the hard work and efforts of our students, staff, parents and volunteers who make all of this possible.
