Well I shouldnt really get involved in this thread but I think its time.
The initial loan was created in November of 2009. The loan was payed ON TIME up until my retirement May 1st 2011. The corps was handed over to the present administration with a few staff bills unpaid and the mentioned installment loan current AND with money in the bank.
On May 1st 2011,ALL of the prior business dealings of the Bushwackers were put on the table in front of 12 individuals willing to take over the corps when I decided to retire.The corps was not mis-managed as many on here seem to want to believe by the former administration, I left because I was tired,25 years was enough, Plain and simple.
IRS filings were made on time each year,Bus companies were NOT owed money, Insurance companies were NOT owed money, facilities were NOT owed money, suppliers were NOT owed money.With the mention earlier of a few staff members and the monthly equipment loan,the bills were current.
The corps ran shows, Had fundraising in place, Collected tuition and worked from a budget each and every year.The corps was administered by a team of people who each had their own job to do and the jobs got done, Most if not all of this team continued on with the new board.
If anyone has concerns about my so-called mismanagement of the Bushwackers spanning 25 years, PLEASE feel free to pm me and I will be glad to have a civil conversation with you and answer any questions you may have. And Please visit Guidestar.com where you will be able to view ALL past IRS filings of the Harrison Bushwackers Inc.

PS Please help the corps if you can.
Reposted in case you didnt see it the first time. Dont point fingers, running a drum corps is extremely difficult. If you have not lived in their shoes....just help.

Most Open Class corps ask their kids to not post on DCP because of those Monday morning QB's that look to pick fights or criticize kids for their opinions and/or thoughts.

Thanks!
Does anyone really think YEA started C2 for the betterment of the activity? Would it not be better for the activity in all the DCI, DCA and alumni corps in our region worked together to promote the activity to new members & fans as a whole? Instead we fight for the same small recruiting pool, our fan base is only ex drum corps people! If we all worked together to bring in more new members and filled the current corps, then there would be a need for more corps. If we did that there would be new fans buying tickets to all our shows....and the bottom line is $$$!
I am not saying I have all the answers but we keep doing things the same way every year and the activity is NOT growing.
Just my opinion.

I knew I should never post on DCP EVER! People are always looking to argue.
Ask Bush, Cabs, Fusion, Spirit of Newark who was there to lend a hand when they asked. This is my last post.

Mike,
Fair enough. I'm glad to see the color guard has grown, and you have filled all the holes that you had advertised on DCI. The size does/does not matter was a typo. Sorry about that.
Please don't disrespect Mr. P and call yourself the visual caption head for the past three years. You write the drill.
Mikey
Mr. Russ,
Dont get into it. I know you what you mean. Mr. P is one of your best friends.

I would love to see ECJ back too....more corps is always a good thing. The problem is that post for a show has not been confirmed through the dci office. The Raiders are already contracted to be at the Bridgmens show that day.

East Coast Jazz will host a DCI Open Class show in Malden on July 17, 2011 at 3:00 PM. It is expected that seven drum corps will appear in competition or exhibition. This will be the first show at the Malden stadium since the disastrous rain out in June 2006. Among those already selected are: [...]

I actually thought it was ridiculous to have open class quarter, semi and finals competitions in the first place. There weren't a lot of placement changes after quarters anyway.

Nothing happens if a OC beats a WC this summer.

Thanks, we have received a great response already.

Why? I am looking for staff. The applicants might come from dci wc or dca.

2010 was a true Celebration for the Raiders Organization. Competing for their 20th straight year, the Raiders again found enormous success on and off the field.
While the corps achieved it's highest placement and score in DCI's Open Class Division in 2010, the corps can't rest on it's success. Now the Raiders are looking to move forward to bring a new level of excitement and competitiveness to the organization.
At this time the Raiders are accepting Educational Staff Resumes from interested individuals that would like to be part of the corps future success.

[At what point does it become about making the individual corps stronger and not doing what is best for the general good of the cause?
I have that debate in my head all the time. The Raiders could not afford to attend 2 OC shows in New England this summer. I got alot of grief about that. It was best for the Raiders to stay in NJ and go to the TOS in Bayonne. But it would have been better for the good of the order for the Raiders to go to the OC shows. There needs to be a balance and effort by all. There is no 1 clear answer. THere are many issues that need to be addressed.

Doesn't this just start the cycle of what the purpose of Open Class is?
Should Open Class Corps view themselves as a training ground for World Class Corps or should Open Class Corps find a way to manage themselves to attain the WC status, like Surf and Teal, most recently. A closer look should be taken at the open class corps and their function in the activity. If they would like to grow and gain world class status, which would make them more sustainable, they need to look at management. If they would like to stay with a week-end only format and do a tour to finals, that's great and a huge help to generate local interest in the activity. It seems groups get caught up in wanting to be a World Class corps without the management to provide the organizational growth and stability needed for such a financial leap. Proper management should lead to a growing membership and long term financial independence.
Just my two thoughts though....
Open class is a class which allows a corps to be whatever it chooses to be. Stay and prosper in OC or grow to become a WC. Going to WC does not make you more sustainable. Most OC corps do weekends only then tour to Indy. Proper management should lead to growing membership & LTFI, but a true fraternity of corps striving to help and grow every corps regardless of class or size would be an even greater factor in the growth of OC/WC and the entire activity.

If we raised the age of both classes kids would stay in open class longer.
