Scott, the total for the day was 11. George had to leave early and Malibu arrived late. Personal schedules are being hammered out as we speak. I love us!!

Donny, you HAVE to hear the trumpet book. I think Dennis is going CRAZY!!

Now I have to drive by Holy Name Church...maybe even go to Mass there? I hope the insurance is paid!! Those walls might tumble when I walk in...

Shouldn't that have ended with "Batman", Jeff?! I agree - I am anxious to hear how our corps song will translate onto the field. Fanfare, for some reason, really reminds me of the Bush recordings of the corps playing jazz back in the day. A fantastic choice!! And the closer - I am as excited to see the visual treatment of it as I am excited to hear it!

Like I've said, it's everything you've loved about the Bushwackers like you've never heard before!!

Well, Clyde, that's always cool. Now, where to put them....

It was the BEST attended ANYTHING in the history of the Bushwackers. Numerous contingents from Baltimore, central Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Connecticut, Long Island, and, of course, New Jersey. Hans was back, so our overseas folks were also in attendance!! We will be formally announcing the show, providing an Open House report, and putting some photos up shortly.

HOLY CRAP!!! I mean, really....HOLY CRAP!!! It was the best attended Bushwacker ANYTHING in our brief 25 year history. And that's weddings, funerals, Open Houses, Finals, whatever. 2006 will be another year in which Bush makes some history!!

It ALL begins tomorrow!! The 25th anniversary celebration begins tomorrow!! Be a part of the Bushwacker family.

Allow me the conceit of quoting myself, Chris... Interesting way to couch your reply, too. Best of luck in 2006.

Or liege, but who really cares?

Superior?! Come on now - ain't no "superiors" in the Bush family. I just see this as a HUGE waste of energy when more important things are at hand. A huge "best of luck" in 2006 from the Bushwackers to all DCA corps, regardless of what they play on!!

Chris, replying to this thread does no good. This question has been asked and answered REPEATEDLY, yet those who would prefer to NOT allow individual corps to make their own choices as to what's best for them will continue to bait, disagree, and provoke. Just let it be, practice hard, and get ready for Saturday.

A word to the wise - check out the Bushwackers in 2006. If you were thinking about marching anywhere this summer, Bush is the place to be.

More like THANK GOD!!!!

And the brass will be playing the 2006 opener, too!!

You can leave the young one in my charge....I will complete his training.

As much as I would like, I can't. I have promised not to get into this here. Oh well...

Must be a California thing, though I do recall some ex-cons mentioning it.

This is getting fun...and somewhat bizarre.

A. It will NOT be Pac-Man!! B. There may be a show announcement by the end of this week.

Abso-friggin-lutely!!!!!!

No really....you took the words out of my mouth!!

Ummmm.....yeah.....lol......sure....

I really wish I could. And I know this sounds like "I know something you don't, I know something you don't." It's really not quite ready for a public announcement. I am begging Jim to allow me to release some details next week. Sorry to be this way right now, but the show is very COOL!!!
