Week Five - Moving On Up!

10/7/2013

0 Comments

 
What a week...we completed  the show, added the beautiful props, added the color guard costumes and  then...we moved from 21st in the rankings up to 3rd!   After two strong performances  this weekend its hard to believe that this past Tuesday was the first time we  played the closer on the field.  The students really worked hard to get it  done. 
I am also happy to report  that we had 100% attendance this weekend!  
  
=> Merci to everyone who came out to  help with completing our props last Friday.  This was a huge help!
=> Merci to everyone who is helping with  moving this band from place to place.  Drivers, pit crew, prop handlers.  
=> Merci to everyone who came out on  Saturday & Sunday to cheer us on.  We really do have the best fans and now  we have a trophy that proves it!
 
This week we have our home competition at  WDHS.  This is a HUGE undertaking and we'll need to call upon everyone for us to  ensure it is successful and runs smoothly.  We need everyone's help.  The final  planning, information, and organization for our show will be at tonight's band  parents meeting.  This is always our best attended meeting of the year due to  the absolute need for as many parents to be involved in this single event.   Please plan to attend if  possible.
 
The full competition line-up for our  home  show can be found here:

On Sunday we head next door to Deptford  HS.  This is the final regular season show before SJ Championships.  We hope we  can again get a great following to cheer us on.  Tickets are $10 for adults  (available from Mr. Kershaw) and $5 for students & Senior Citizens  (available at the gate).  WDMB performs at 4:15pm. 
The full lineup for the Deptford show is  posted here on the TOB web site:
