Parade Route Map Hello WDMB Family,
This is the first of my weekly emails detailing our upcoming week’s schedule. Look for these each Sunday/Monday of the season. These weekly messages will also be posted on the blog page on our band's website: www.wdhsmusic.org
This week we have our first public performance! We will be providing the halftime entertainment for the football game at Gateway HS. All of us are excited to present our program "To the Heavens" to a live audience. We are still in the
development stages of the program and will be working hard this week to polish as much of our performance as we can. We would like to have 4-5 parents at the game to assist us with moving our pit equipment on and off the field.
Saturday we will be performing in the 2015 Miss America Parade in Atlantic City. We will be having a short rehearsal prior to departing for the parade. Following rehearsal we will eat, load and depart. WD is required to report at 4:30pm on Oriental Ave. The parade parade officially starts at 5pm. WDMB is the 112th unit out of 120 units so we are near the very end of the parade. We will be marching between Miss Virginia & Miss Washington! Student will need to pack snacks and sandwiches for dinner.
UNIFORMS
At this time, everyone has been fitted for their uniforms. Our thanks and special appreciation needs to go out to the parents who were able to do the needed hemming for us.
We will be using our alternate uniform this week for Friday's FB performance.
This is the same as what we wore on Memorial Day. All musicians need to locate their band caps!
