As we prepare for the 2014 Season, The Bushwackers have always and will always commit to the members, staff, administration, and fans of the organization. Come and experience what this great organization is about at our Open House on Sunday, November 24, 2013 in the Princeton, NJ area starting at 11 am. With a great staff, dedicated administration, and top-notch facilities, all that’s missing right now is YOU!!
With that in mind, we are proud to announce the Percussion Staff for 2014!
We are excited to welcome Jason Keller as our new Percussion Caption Head. Jason comes to us with a wealth of drum corps experience and was most recently on the percussion staff for the Madison Scouts 2012 and 2013 seasons. His drum corps performance experience includes marching in the Jersey Surf and the Blue Stars, and he has also marched in the WGI World-class indoor percussion line, United Percussion. Jason has worked with several high school band programs in the tri-state area and is currently the Percussion Caption Head for Cab Calloway School of the Arts.
Jason looks forward to building on the traditionally strong Bushwackers percussion section and taking the section to new levels of performance.
Another new staff member, although not new to the Bushwackers, is our very own Alyssa Colaluca.
Alyssa was part of the 2012 and 2013 I&E Cymbal Ensemble Champions with the Bushwackers. She brings with her over 10 years of drum corps experience marching with the Bushwackers and with the Sunrisers. She has also marched in the Penn State Indoor Drumline and has taught several high school marching programs in the New Jersey area.
Alyssa is excited to again be a part of the Bushwackers, this time as part of the Percussion Staff!
Returning in his role as Percussion and Program Consultant is Robbie Robinson, a member of the World Drum Corps Hall of Fame (2007). Robbie’s Performance Resume is legendary, marching with the Blue
Devils and Crossmen, and winning individual Snare solos in both DCI and DCA I&E Competitions. He has also led the Reading Buccaneers as well as The Bushwackers to winning several High Percussion Caption awards.
