DMCK Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 That's right...the time has come to put away the winter clothing, shed the shackles of being a drum corps inside (it's like being a caged animal that needs to get out!) and start bringing SCENES FROM A PSYCHOTIC CIRCUS to life! The circus begins this weekend, April 25-26 for ALL MEMBERS! The brass, pit, and battery will be in the usual lot in Ridgefield Park while the guard will be rehearsing at Edison High School. Directions to both are available by going to our Schedule Page and clicking on the appropriate links. It's really easy. Rehearsal will be from 10am-8pm on Saturday and 10am-5pm on Sunday at both locations. Members should bring appropriate dress for any weather contingency. PLEASE WEAR SNEAKERS AND APPROPRIATE CLOTHING FOR MOVEMENT. This does NOT include jeans. Sandals, boots, etc are not permitted when we're moving because they will cause injury. For those not familiar with the Bushwackers, the following: The six time DCA World Champion Bushwackers Drum and Bugle Corps are a weekend only, all-age drum and bugle corps based in the state of New Jersey. We accept members of any age or ability level that has the desire to be one of the best in the world at what you do...drum corps. We are an Open Class corps that is the home to a world class percussion section, the 2006 DCA world champion brass line, and the 2006 and 2007 DCA world championship winning color guard. Some people may say, "Well shoot. There's no way I could be a Bushwacker." Wrong. Our philosophy of "Quality" is integrated into everything we do, and to achieve the "Quality" we seek, our program is based around education and a positive culture in which anyone can learn to be a productive member of the corps. That includes woodwind players and folks with limited marching experience. At the same time, we will challenge even the most seasoned of veterans. Our staff isn't just full of a bunch of guys with degrees, although we have plenty. Our staff has tons of collective drum corps experience. We get it. We know what you want out of your drum corps experience because we've all been there, and we want the same things. We want to be great. We want to have fun doing it. We want to work. We want to be a part of something greater than ourselves. We want to feel good about what we're spending all this time and money doing. We get it. Try it. Come on out to a rehearsal and experience first hand what it's like to be a Bushwacker. This weekend seems like a good opportunity to do that! April 25-26. Make it happen! Questions? Think you can't afford to march or have other issues to deal with? I can help you if you talk to me. membership@bushwackers.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMCK Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 A spectacular weekend for the Bushwackers, indeed. Not only did we have a bunch of new members come out, but they were hyping, talented, and ready for the heat! This show is going to be incredible. I'm looking forward to standing in front of it all season long. The whole corps really has its act together, and it's really something special to be a part of. Hey...if you're hungry for some drum corps, you seriously should consider coming out and jumping in on May 9th. We're having a one day power rehearsal (we have off May 10th for Mother's Day), and it would be a great opportunity for you to really experience what this thing is all about. I've been a Bushwacker for 13 years now, and this is going to be a truly special year for the corps. Oh, and you won't even be the only new person! We saw a lot of new faces this weekend, and more are coming. Jump in and let's have a fun summer being really good and having a really good time.
