bobg Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) The Bushwackers and Sunrisers Drum & Bugle Corps need your help as they “Race to Rochester” For over 34 years, these two storied Drum Corps have battled it out on the field. Both Corps have won six World Championships. Both Corps have hard working, passionate, and dedicated members whose blood sweat and tears bleed their Corps colors. Both Corps have spent countless weekends entertaining thousands while representing their proud Alumni who once battled themselves under the August sun. As both Corps enter the week of the 2015 DCA World Championships, the RACE IS ON to ROCHESTER! Beginning on Monday August 31st through Friday September 4th, the Bushwackers Drum & Bugle Corps and the Sunrisers Drum & Bugle Corps will be waging a different battle off the field. In this head-to-head fundraising challenge, both Corps are calling on all Alumni, Family, Friends, and Supporters to see who will raise the most money. “This is a great opportunity to take a freshly renewed rivalry off the field and straight to the fans” said Bushwackers Corps Director Bob Glover. “Both Corps have made great strides over the past couple of years, and this is a chance to see who has the best fans and supporters in DCA. Whoever comes out on top, it’s the members of the Corps who win in the end. Sorry Sun, but that dust you see in front of you is magenta and blue!” Due to the required hotel and travel costs skyrocketing in 2015, both the Bushwackers and Sunrisers will be using all donations to offset their travel and housing costs as the head to the DCA World Championships in Rochester, NY this coming weekend. Both organizations are non-profit 501©(3) charitable organizations and can provide tax-deductible documentation for all donations received. “The Sunrisers and Bushwackers have been fierce competitors since the early 1980’s.” said Sunrisers Assistant Director/Business Manager David Hobart. “While both Corps share the same mission and goals on and off the field, I am certain the Sunrisers have the advantage when it comes to fan and alumni support. I know that the Sun will be rising in Princeton all week long…and I would advise them to never look directly into the Sun!” Please visit the following to support your Corps. Make sure to watch the Twitter and Facebook pages for both corps as there will be Daily updates.
