This is OLD SCHOOL Drum Corps, and what we are all about:
This past Sunday, after our DCA debut, the Bushwackers marched in the Barnum Festival Parade in Bridgeport, CT. After waiting over 45 minutes to board the shuttle bus from our housing site to the parade stepoff, the shuttle buses provided by the event WERE NOWHERE TO BE FOUND!!
Holly Marino, Director of Fusion Core, offered to share their buses in order to get the Bushwackers to the parade start JUST IN TIME for step-off. WHEW!
To show our thanks and love for their support, the Bushwackers Hornline and Battery lined up at the end of the parade and performed a standstill of parts of our show for the Fusion Core members. They, in turn, setup and did a standstill for us! It was a great moment, attracted many from around the campus, and both Corps cheered on each other! This is why this activity is not solely about the competition field, and we at the Bushwackers concentrate on the family component of Drum Corps. We are ALL Drum Corps brothers and sisters, and one one big family that need each other to stay strong.
Thank you Fusion Core for being a class act!
