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.

Rain couldn't stop us. We are so proud of the WDMB, 2022 Region 1 Grand Champions with a score of 94.70! The WDMB also took the awards for Best Music, Best Visual and Best Color Guard. And congratulations to senior color guard member Marisa Parisi on being awarded a TOB Region I $500 scholarship! It was a rainy day, but the WDMB stood tall through it all!

PLAYOFF FOOTBALL
This week we have playoff football! The WD football team has advanced to the playoffs and they are set to take on Gloucester City this upcoming Friday night. The WDMB will be traveling to the game to support our team. If we can make transportation work, we are planning on performing our field show before the game. If we can make this work, we would perform at 6:30pm.

HOODIE ORDERS
"Drawn In" Hoodies will be in this Friday. They will be distributed after we return from this week's football game.
