  1. YES ! Listen to Frank, DONT miss this clinic, ALL are welcomed to attend.
  2. A good friend of mine Terry Keenan (27th) told me at a weeknight show in the Manning Bowl " wait till you see their new ending, George taught it last night on the fly" , So it's a good bet that they were in the Boston area when they learned it.
  3. I wasn't, Just wanted to give a little background to the discussion of the photo.
  4. No, Harrison NY is in Westchester county NY ( suburb of NYC) and is a pretty wealthy enclave. The band director at this school marched Bush in the early 2000's and is involved with the Brassmen parade corps now. They have a REALLY great music program at this school, great jazz band, concert band and choirs but they don't compete on a regular basis or not at all. Not all great music programs are dependent on holding a baritone properly or playing a quad lick clean. They have a large band, supported well by the parents and the school but it's just a small part of a really great music program. The great composer Steve Melillo taught at this school in the early 80's and today's band director was a student of his. These kids get a great education!
  5. I know for a fact Brendan is our new visual caption Supervisor at Bush for 2018. My guess is the C2 staff listing needs updating.
  6. I don't think some of these people are returning to C2?? Check the Bushwacker staff announcement , You may see a few names posted there.
  7. It was "The Bushwacker rule". Put in after our 3rd title, Disappeared after our 6th title.
  8. Eric worked a few camps in the winter and worked our Bush academy corps our beginner corps of middle schoolers we operate, He is a great educator! Life and work took center stage this summer for Eric, He is still looked upon as one of our wonderful staff members though.
  9. Sorry, But if you are talking about Eric, he stepped aside this season , Crown alumSeth Hastings is our bass tech this season and his brother Jordan ( Buc alum) is the assistant caption head. Credit where credit is due!
  10. Bushwackers have rented Roberts Wesleyan University for the weekend. We will be staying at the school and practicing on their campus all 3 days. Jay Bush
  11. Bush had an electronics issue at the Grand Prix that was a stadium malfunction ( plug was pulled out ). The timing judge stopped the clock until the stadium people found and fixed the issue. The same might have happened with C2 last evening. Jay
  12. We have rooms reserved in the Radisson Riverside in downtown Rochester (3 remain). You can book them directly through the corps website. Jay
  13. The Bushwackers have a weekend package and only 3 rooms remain. Go to www.bushwackers.org and look for the Championship getaway post, You can reserve your room through our website. Jay
  14. Thank you for the kind words! It was a great experience for all the fans and participants . Al Chez and the Brothers of Funk were an outrageous beginning to a great night of entertainment! Jay Bush
  15. The weather will be SPECTACULAR at showtime. Hope to see you all there.
  16. Tickets have been selling briskly these last few days! Seating is limited so we urge you to pre order. Print your receipt and bring to the will call booth for your tickets!
  17. Johnny Sasso wrote for my fathers corps, the Wanderers back in the mid 60's. He was WAY ahead of his time, AWSOME stuff even today. RIP. Jay
  18. Perhaps you should ask the management at Fusion that question, They were originally IN the show and decided to pull out a few months ago much to our surprise and disappointment. Jay
  19. Don't think so. I brought my corps to that show, the hosts were wonderful and the show was run well but the crowd was small, really small for the venue, imo .
  20. Bush was in Kingston NY, score 82.25
