Bushsop89 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 The 2007 Season of the Bushwackers Drum and Bugle Corps has begun !!! The Bushwackers are very excited to announce that the 2007 Open House was one of the most successful in the corps’ history. In fact, the turnout was record breaking, with all sections being very well represented. It wasn’t just the quantity of members in attendance, it was the quality! The talent level far exceeded expectations. The staff commented several times that the returning members will be pushed hard by the incoming first year members who appeared talented and determined. The Open House was held at the Rutgers Center for Law and Justice in Newark, NJ. Assistant Director Bob Kidd said he was very pleased to see so many returning members, especially from the award winning Color Guard and Brass sections; each of whom are the reigning champions in their respective captions. In addition, the turnout for the percussion section, for both the front ensemble and battery, was simply overwhelming. Obviously, there were many people there excited to experience the intensity and creativity of performing a book written by Ralph Hardimon. After a brief meeting, which included show and staff announcements, the corps broke into sectionals. The first rehearsal of the 2007 Bushwacker season was underway!!! Stay tuned for the show announcement - it's guaranteed to appeal to a wide variety of musical tastes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmignemi02 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 What a great time we had. I've already choked down a bottle of Aleve for the sore muscles... :) :) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle B Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 What a great time we had. I've already choked down a bottle of Aleve for the sore muscles... :) :) :) Looks like the corps will have to chip in and buy you a few bottles that contain 500 tablets to last you throughout the season!

DMCK Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Sore muscles are but a payment towards excellence. :) You did great, and the rest of the guard did great as well. I just wanted to say that you can all expect a show announcement very soon! Yes, we know what it is...but we're dotting all the lower case j's and crossing all of the t's before making a complete public release. I will say this...it's exciting, familiar to some, and entertaining to all. I don't want to say it's not something you'd expect from the Bushwackers (because really...what kind of style to you expect from the Bushwackers)...but I will say that it's going to, as they say, "rock the house".
