It was another great week of growth and strength, and the 2023 WDMB moves closer to competition. We were disappointed that we did not get a chance to debut our show at the Washington Twp. show this past weekend, but we are looking ahead to this week’s show at Gateway Regional where we know we are going to rock the stadium.
Senior Recognition - Congratulation to all of our senior members and their parents who were recognized at this past Friday's football game. Our seniors have shown tremendous leadership and dedication to our program. We thank all of you for being the backbone of our program.
We want to thank our amazing parents!
Concession Stand - Another home football game and the WD band parents easily kept up with the crowds. Its amazing how our parents work together to make this all work.
Props - Our parents who have been building our props have been putting in so many hours building, painting, and making sure we are prepared. These gear props look amazing.
Pit Crew - Thank you to the volunteer band parents who help us get on and off the field for each performance. We could still use some more help. Please reach out if you can help. You will have the best seat in the house!
Away Football – This Friday the WDMB will be traveling to Haddonfield Memorial HS for this week’s varsity football game. The WDMB will be performing the field show before the game. We will need help with moving equipment and props.
Competition - This week we are heading into competition at Gateway Regional. Times have been revised! This will be our closest show from WD so let’s get as many people in the stands as possible. We will see some of our major competitors at this event and your cheers will help us!
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.
Donations Needed - We are looking for donations of hand towels and large heavy blankets. These are used to wipe, cover, and protect our props and instruments in damp weather. Thank you!
