What a great start to the 2025-26 school year! The WD Football team took another win, the WD Cheer team had an amazing home debut with youth night, and the WDMB debuted their 2025 Field Show "Masquerade!" We couldn't be more proud of our 1st performance. Our veteran members really stepped up and helped all of our new members feel confident and strong. It is certainly going to be an amazing year!
Thank you to all of the band parents who came out this past Friday Night to support our concession stand. It was a packed house and the stand was busy all night. We can't do it without you!
BAND PARENTS MEETING Monday, 9/8
This Monday we have a band parents meeting at 8pm in the HS band room. We are entering our busy season with event planning as concession stand and home show crews are forming. We need you! Please plan to attend! Thank you.
2025 WDMB Tour Shirt Orders: Orders for this year's "MASQUERADE" tour shirt will be taken through Saturday, 9/20. These shirts are adults sizes and include the show theme's artwork on the front and the full list of 2025 performances on the back. These are keepsakes and basically everyone buys them. Order forms are linked HERE and will be available in the HS band room.

A few students realized they outgrew or wore out their band shoes. Any band members who need shoes must provide Mr. Kershaw their size by Tuesday. Shoes are $45. Please make checks payable to "West Deptford High School"
