- Our 46th Annual "Music in Cadence" TOB Competition went amazingly. The weather was perfect and we gave 23 bands a great performance opportunity.
- Thank you to all of the fall sports coaches who came out with their athletic teams to support the WDMB! Your support means so much to all of our members, staff and families. WDHS is truly a family community.
- Thank you to our show announcers Steve Bobo and his assistant Grace Arseneau! They did a phenomenal job!
- 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.
