Meet TeamBush 2015 is a series of introductions to the members, staff, and administration of the Bushwackers Drum Corps. We want to highlight and feature the people who make this Corps unique and exciting. Up Next:
James Ziller, Mellophone
Affectionately known as just “Ziller”, James is in his third year on the Bushwackers Mellophone Line. Ziller commutes for every Corps event from the Scranton, PA region. He often acts at the Corps’ northwest bus as he provides rides for members from points north and gets them to camps and performances. James is an extremely dedicated member who goes out of his way to make people feel welcome at Bush. You can see him at all the recruiting events for the Corps in the off-season, every rehearsal and fundraiser, and he even makes trips down to NJ just to hang out with his Bushwackers family on off weekends.
James got his start as a trumpet player at Wyoming Valley West High School in Pennsylvania, where he graduated in 2010. He then joined the Reading Buccaneers in 2011 as a trumpet player and really enjoyed his first introduction to the drum corps activity. In 2013, James joined the Bushwackers on Mellophone, and has been an outstanding member.
James is currently a Computer Science major at Luzerne County College in Nanticoke, PA.
Come join James and the rest of the Bush Brass by filling a spot in the 2015 Bushwackers Hornline. Visit www.bushwackers.org for more information.
