Picture2023 Tour Shirt Front Design
The WDMB had a great opening performance at our home opening football game. Our new uniforms look very shiny and fresh. Our band parents rocked a very busy concession stand. Here we go; it’s showtime!
​
This week we are heading into our first competition at Washington Twp. High School. We are very excited to get our first numbers of the season and see where we stand. Everyone is working very hard towards making “The Machine” a hit.

This upcoming Friday is Senior Appreciation Night at the game. We are very excited to have our 12 senior members and their parents recognized by our school. We know what dedication it takes to see your band commitments to the end. These seniors have endured many recent challenges, and we appreciate their dedication.

TOUR SHIRTS
Tour shirt orders are due this upcoming Saturday. This year’s shirts will once again feature artwork by one of our very own band parents, Mr. Anthony Parisi. Mr. Parisi is a professional graphic artist and we want to thank him for lending his time and talents to our program.

FOOTBALL THIS WEEK
The WD football team is home against local rival Paulsboro this upcoming Friday.  Kickoff is 7pm. The WDMB will be performing at halftime. HELP NEEDED! => Our pit crew can use a few extra hands to help the band move on and off the field. Please consider helping us by coming out to the game. See John Phillips at the concession stand area.
 
COMPETITION

OK, here we go!!!  First competition is this weekend!.  The show site is local from WDHS.  We hope to fill the stands with WDMB supporters!  We are the only Group II, Open Class band at the show.  WD Performs at 6:30pm.  Be sure to come out and make some noise as we “gear up” for our 1st competition of the season.
Competition Tickets!  Tickets will be available (still waiting to receive them) Only adult tickets are available from Mr. Kershaw.  Students/Seniors tickets are available at the gate at the show.  Be sure to purchase your adult tickets from Mr. Kershaw. We keep the proceeds from the adult tickets we sell.  Only cash is accepted for all ticket sales.
 
UNIFORMS 
The Band & Color Guard will be in full uniform for all performances this weekend (football & competition)  Later this week we will be sending out total care instructions for our new uniforms. These garments have special care instructions. Please do not wash or iron any garments until these directions are given. They use special fabrics, and they need special care.
