"Madness in the Moonlight" captured more than just our imaginations; it captured a South Jersey Championship! This past Sunday, the WDMB won their 15th Region I Championship with a score of 96.10. This was the highest score in the entire Tournament of Bands' regional championships which included 123 bands. We are so proud of our students and staff. They have truly brought a very special program alive this year. Thank you to everyone who made it out to cheer us on!

WDMB MIDDLE SCHOOL NIGHT - This Friday night we will be welcoming 7th & 8th grade WDMS students who are interested in being a part of the WDMB next year. Students are invited to come out and shadow us during the football game and get a peek behind the curtain on what being a member of the WDMB is all about. Students can sign up here: WDMB MIDDLE SCHOOL NIGHT
​
NJ STATES - ​This week we are very excited for the NJ State Championships at Barnegat HS. The WDMB will be facing 5 other Group II Open Class Bands. WD performs at 3:35pm.
Tickets are $15.00 for Adults & $10.00 for Students/Seniors. All Ticket Sales will be at the gate.
All Tickets/Concessions Purchases are CASH ONLY.

HOMECOMING DANCE - About 50% of the WDMB are attending the homecoming dance. Students attending the homecoming dance will be departing Barnegat asap. We will have 2 buses returning students to WDHS. Once they are rolling, we will send out a remind to announce their arrival time. 

WDMB TRUNK-OR-TREAT – 10/27 6p-8p
This event is not a public event nor is it a fundraising event. It is just to bring some smiles to faces and time to hang out without the pressure of a competition or a rehearsal with our High School Band Students and to build the bridge between the High School Band and Middle School Band stronger. All WDHS & WDMB band students are invited.
