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.
