WDMB Update 10-13-2025

WE ARE REALLY HITTING OUR STRIDE! The WDMB had a fantastic Home Show performance. Thank you to everyone for hanging in through a very long weekend. Here are some highlights from the weekend:

• Our 51st Annual "Music in Cadence" TOB Competition went amazingly. The weather was iffy at first, but it eventually gave way to a beautiful night. We gave 24 bands a great performance opportunity. 
• Thank you to our show announcer Mr. Wyatt. He is the best!
• This weekend would not have been the absolute success it was without our Band Parents organization.  We cannot thank our Band Parents, alumni & friends who came out and worked enough.  Everyone who came out to help with the home show were amazing.  Thank you all for your time and dedication to making that evening very special.  I want to give special shout outs to our Band Parents Executive Board for all of their time, planning and execution which made the show run so smoothly.
• Thank you to our WD administration & WDHS building & grounds crews for their top tier support towards everything we do. We are blessed to have the complete trust and backing of our school community.
• Finally, thank you to everyone who came out and cheered us on.  It is obvious who's family & friends "bring it" to each show.  Your cheers are our fuel and we love it.  

TOUR SHIRTS - We do have a limited number for extra tour shirts. These will be sold on a first come, first served basis. $15 per shirt. Please do not ask me to hold shirts.

​COMPETITIVE UPDATE: ​We are currently ranked #2 out of 147 bands in all of TOB! We are 1 of only 3 bands to break 90 this season. Full scores and rankings are found here: http://www.tob-info.net

WELCOME TO CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON
This week we have our Regional Championships at Eastern Regional HS. The WDMB is scheduled to perform at 5:45pm. This will be our closest show location so let's load the cars and get as many supporters to Eastern Regional as we can. The score from this show will be used as our seed score for the ACC's. Tickets are now available from Mr. Kershaw. Adults: $15 & Students & Senior Citizens: $10

At this point, we have completed 15 weeks of WDMB and are down to our final 4 weeks of competitions. The next 4 weeks are our culminating performances as we drive through 4 rounds of championships.
