Seeing the 2026 WDMB in full uniform this week was awesome under the Friday Night Lights! Our ballerinas are absolutely breathtaking! It was great to shine brightly alongside the WD Cheer Squad and see our WD football team grab an amazing win over Haddonfield.
We are certainly continuing to battle through some unfortunate weather patterns, losing another seven hours of rehearsal this past week. Even with the loss of time, the group is really digging in and making the time we do get matter. We are so proud of how the band is developing and growing together. We are ready to shift into the next gear of the season!
Gear 1 – Summer Rehearsals/Camps
Gear 2 – School Starts/Football Performances
Gear 3 – Competitions ← WE ARE HERE!
Gear 4 – Championships
Schedule Update: Due to the loss of rehearsal time last week, we've added Thursday rehearsal back to the schedule for this upcoming week. We are so close to having our full production complete! We need this time to lock it all together and roll into the weekend as strong and confident as possible.
Construction Update: This week, the track and surrounding areas are scheduled to be worked on. Please be aware of the possibility of limited access around the stadium area when dropping off and picking up students. In general, we prefer all students to be dropped off near the band room and walk over to the stadium. The "curbside" service is nice, but it does cause some issues. Students should never park in the tennis court area.
THIS IS DEPENDENT ON CONSTRUCTION: If possible, we would like to invite all family and friends to come out this Friday night to see our completed 2026 production! We are planning on rehearsing from 5–8 p.m., then going inside to dress in full uniform before coming back out to perform a full, dressed run-through. This will only happen if we have access to the stadium. We will confirm this on Thursday.
Competition Tickets: Tickets are available for our upcoming shows at Brick Memorial & Madison HS. Only adult tickets are available from Mr. Kershaw. Student/Senior Citizen 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.
