 WDMB IS ON FIRE AND ROCKIN'!
  • Our 45th Annual "Music in Cadence" TOB Competition went amazingly. The weather was cooperative and we gave 24 bands a great performance opportunity. 
  • The WDMB set a new home show record high score with tonight’s score of 94.50! This replaces the previous record high WDMB home show score of 93.85 set last year.
  • Thank you to Head Football Coach Mr. Morrell and the WDHS football team for coming out and supporting us this Saturday night. To our knowledge, this was a first at WD and it was a total class act.  Thank you!
  • Thank you to our show announcer, Mr. Yerkes who gives us his time each year. So appreciated!
  • This weekend would not have been the absolute success it was without our Band Parents organization.  We cannot thank our Band Parents, Alumni & Friends who came out and worked enough.  Everyone who came out to help with the home show were amazing.  Thank you all for your time and dedication to making that evening very special.  I want to give special shout outs to our Band Parents Executive Board for all of their time, planning and execution which made the show run so smoothly.
  • Finally thank you to everyone who came out to both shows and cheered us on.  It is obvious who's family and friends "bring it" to each show.  Your cheers are our fuel and we love it.  

Competitive Summary
This weekend was a huge success for the WDMB! The WDMB remains undefeated going into Regional Championships.  The WDMB took "Grand Champion" honors at both the WDMB TOB & the Deptford TOB!  TOTALLY AMAZING!

This is the 4th consecutive year the WDMB finished the regular season having achieved the highest score in all TOB!
