The 2013 Bushwackers season is in the books and we had a FANTASTIC FINISH! The Bushwackers got back into Finals after a 2 year absence and placed 8th in both Prelims and Finals at Annapolis this year. The faces of the members were beaming all weekend long. This was due in large part to our OUTSTANDING DONORS! Thanks to the 300+ Donors, the Corps was able to survive its hardship 2 years ago and still exist today. Without these Donors, The Bushwackers would not exist, nor would we be able to provide new uniforms and other equipment that the Corps needs. However, there are more people to thank for the Bushwacker Success. Thank you Admin and Volunteers, because of your help, the members only had to worry about their job: playing, spinning, marching. Thanks to the great Admin and Volunteers, we were able to settle all logistical issues before members even stepped foot onto the rehearsal sites. Thank you FANS! Because of your continued support throughout the years, the Bushwackers Admin, Staff, Volunteer, and Members always kept a positive mindset and pushed on forward. ALL OF YOUR EFFORTS OFF THE FIELD translated to our success ON THE FIELD, and for that we are forever grateful. We Are: The Bushwackers But more importantly, We Are: Forever Grateful

Friends, Alumni, and Fans of The Bushwackers and DCA, We have been hard at work over the last 24 hours along with the Pennsauken school district to get the show back on schedule. We are happy to say we've been able to address any facility issues and the show will go ahead as scheduled! There will be some workarounds we have to make with the main entrance gate and walkways to bathrooms as well as parking. We're sorry for any inconvenience this may cause but it will not affect the performance field or the seating in the stadium. So rest assured that the audience will get to experience the best performance each corps has to offer. Due to the interruption and inconvenience to our fans, we are lowering the general admission ticket price to $10, with children under 6 free. Reserved center section is still available at $20. The following corps will be in competition: Heartliner from GermanyExcelsiorShenandoah Sound and your hosts, The Bushwackers! Reilly Raiders will perform in exhibition.
