This week marks the end of what has been another incredible season for the WDMB history book. The WDMB has shown it has THE HEART to achieve its goals. Thank you to everyone for your tremendous support.
2017 SEASON SUMMARY
=> 2017 TOB, Group II, Atlantic Coast Champions
=> 7 first place finishes
=> Set 2 new WDHS Record High Scores
Tonight the West Deptford Board of Education will be honoring/recognizing the 2017 WDMB's many accomplishments. Students are asked to arrive at WDMS before 7pm. The BOE will put the WDMB at the top of the agenda so we should be done @7:30pm.
This week we will have one rehearsal to finish preparing for the upcoming parades. On Saturday we have 2 parades! These are great community parades and we have a lot of fun participating in them. Students should think about and prepare for the cold evening weather and "layer up" under their uniforms.
=> On Saturday, students will need money for lunch. We will be stopping at a shopping center where there are several fast food restaurants to chose from.
=> Dinner will be provided at the end of the West Cape May parade by our band parents.
=> Students will need a red & white Santa hat for the parades. We will be using these in place of our uniform hats.
On Sunday we will be heading to Rowan to support our football team. We will be traveling as a pep band only. Band members are reminded to bring their band caps in lieu of their shakos.
After the football game we will be collecting ALL UNIFORMS! See below for uniform collection details.
