This is curious.....don't believe there have been any statements of anyone robbing anything. Of course, this is DCP....where everything is made up and the points don't matter.

This is OLD SCHOOL Drum Corps, and what its all about: This past Sunday, after our DCA debut, the Bushwackers marched in the Barnum Festival Parade in Bridgeport, CT. After waiting over 45 minutes to board the shuttle bus from our housing site to the parade stepoff, the shuttle buses provided by the event WERE NOWHERE TO BE FOUND!! Holly Marino, Director of Fusion Core, offered to share their buses in order to get the Bushwackers to the parade start JUST IN TIME for step-off. WHEW! To show our thanks and love for their support, the Bushwackers Hornline and Battery lined up at the end of the parade and performed a standstill of parts of our show for the Fusion Core members. They, in turn, setup and did a standstill for us! It was a great moment, attracted many from around the campus, and both Corps cheered on each other! This is why this activity is not solely about the competition field, and we at the Bushwackers concentrate on the family component of Drum Corps. We are ALL Drum Corps brothers and sisters, and one one big family that need each other to stay strong. Thank you Fusion Core for being a class act! Please visit www.bushwackers.org for more information on the Bushwackers organization.

"The Sky is FALLING! Whatever shall I do? I hate DCI....Drum Corps is over as we know it!!" Well guys, not really. Stop pouting. If it TRULY is the end of the world that they now let Trombones and French Horns perform, then I expect all DCA shows to be sold out for the entire summer because all of you angry fans that buy tons of tickets will need somewhere to go. Buy tickets to a DCA show.....you won't be dissapointed! **Shameless plug over**

Ok, down to 3 rooms. If you want to stay 5 minutes from the Stadium for half the price of other local hotels, please email us NOW. We have a deadline of August 17!! info@cthurricanes.org Thanks!

Fanfare in Bridgeport has not success the past two years. The Hurricane two years ago (not the hometown team, this one from the Atlantic Ocean) caused a cancellation, and last year had a mediocre crowd because we were still feeling the effects of the cancellation the year before. This year, the Hurricanes have taken great care in creating an excellent lineup with local and regional Corps, and reducing ticket prices to fill the stands....creating this year's largest Drum Corps Event in New England. Reading also has a great lineup and are close to fans of those Corps. There is no comparing the two shows....both are excellent lineups, and both are hosted by great organizations that rely on shows like this to help fund their corps, so lets fill all the stadiums!!! So, Maryland, PA, NJ, NY, New England......buy a ticket to one of the shows, because either way its gunna be a great night of Drum Corps!! If you can't attend the show, consider a donation. Every little bit helps! And hope the Atlantic Ocean stays quiet in three weeks. The only talk of Hurricanes needs to be of the Connecticut type! Thanks, Bob

Please give a vote to the Hurricanes, as we are looking to fund a couple projects...including replacing our aging set of brass instruments. Unfortunately, if you cannot find us in a search, you need to search our name as the "Huricanes". They mis-spelled our name, and won't change it . Use this link to give a vote to the Hurcs and help Drum Corps. http://fb.chasegivin.../ein/06-1273256 Thanks for being Magnificent!
