WDMB UPDATE - WEEK 9 - NJ STATES

WEST DEPTFORD HS MARCHING BAND
2022 TOB, Group II Open Class
SJ REGION I GRAND CHAMPIONS

Rain couldn't stop us. We are so proud of the WDMB, 2022 Region 1 Grand Champions with a score of 94.70! The WDMB also took the awards for Best Music, Best Visual and Best Color Guard. And congratulations to senior color guard member Marisa Parisi on being awarded a TOB Region I $500 scholarship! It was a rainy day, but the WDMB stood tall through it all!

PLAYOFF FOOTBALL
This week we have playoff football! The WD football team has advanced to the playoffs and they are set to take on Gloucester City this upcoming Friday night. The WDMB will be traveling to the game to support our team. If we can make transportation work, we are planning on performing our field show before the game. If we can make this work, we would perform at 6:30pm.

HOODIE ORDERS
"Drawn In" Hoodies will be in this Friday. They will be distributed after we return from this week's football game.

FINAL COMPETITIONS
We are moving full steam ahead into the final 2 events - NJ States and Atlantic Coast Championships. Attendance is critical as we prepare for these final contests. Please do all you can to stay healthy and rested. We can do this.

This week we are heading into TOB NJ States at Barnegat HS. The competition will be strong, and we hope to see as many WDMB supporters in the stands. Tickets are only available at the gate. WD performs at 6:15pm. Full NJ States lineup is here. 

On Saturday, November 5 we will be returning to Hershey for the TOB Atlantic Coast Championships. After the results of this past weekend's regional contests, the WDMB is ranked #2 and will perform at 6:15pm. A full schedule will be out later this week.
