WDMB update 9-9-2024

This past week was full of great things. With every rehearsal, the WDMB is getting stronger and stronger. We started a new school year. We supported the WD football team to get their 1st win vs Pennsville. Thank you to everyone for helping us keep moving forward.

Band Parents Meeting tonight! 8pm - Please join us as we begin to launch our season. The band parents are a HUGE part of our program and now is the time we need you most. 

UNIFORM FITTINGS
Uniform fittings are this Wednesday 5pm & Thursday 5pm.
Wednesday is reserved for returning musicians.
Thursday is reserved for new musicians.
HELP NEEDED! We are in need of parents willing to help us with uniform fittings @5pm on 9/11 & 9/12. Most uniforms are in need of only minor adjustments. We may have a little work to iron and possibly hem when needed. Thank you.
