Welcome to Week #1 and the first of our weekly updates! It is hard to believe that football is starting a full 2 WEEKS before the start of school, but the WDMB will be there to cheer them on!
BAND CAMP 2021
Band camp was a huge success! The WDMB was able to bring this 30+ year tradition back to our membership and we are glad we did. Each year band camp at Camp Ramblewood is a game changer for our band. They really get to know one another on a whole new level which allows them to work together better. Even though our stay was 1 ½ days shorter than normal memories were made and the group progressed forward.
The WDMB wants to send a huge THANK YOU out to the alumni band parents who volunteered to drive our equipment trucks to and from Band Camp! Your generosity is appreciated!
Thank you, Richard Glass!
Thank you, Jimmy Cornelius!
Thank you, John Phillips!
Thank you to all our band parents who donated food and came down to Camp Ramblewood for the Annual Visitation Luncheon. Our band parents are the best!
THIS WEEK
This week we have a couple of things going on. Mini-Camp & Football Game #1
Mini Camp – Rehearsals this Tuesday & Wednesday will be 4p-9p. We are calling these extended practices “Mini-Camp” as they will allow us to make up some time we lost due to a shorter band camp. This will also allow us to onboard the few students who missed band camp this year. There will be a 30min “snack/dinner” break from 6pm-6:30pm on each day.
WD Football returns this week. Due to the August temps, the WDMB will not be wearing traditional uniform until September. We will instead be wearing our Alternative Uniform. Our general rule is if the temps are above 80 at kickoff we will wear our alternative uniforms. Our alternative uniforms are what we wore for the Memorial Day & Elks Parades and detailed below.

Musicians:
Color Guard:
Uniform shirts will be distributed at rehearsals this week.
