“You can never have enough horns” is an old saying with the Bushwackers through the years, and now it’s become “You can never have enough storage.” With the addition of electronics in the pit and the corps full service food operation, coupled with the scaffolding, keyboards, bass drums, tubas, timpani, props, and so on, Space has become a premium commodity. These past few years the corps has been renting a box truck to supplement our trailer in transporting all the necessary equipment to and from rehearsals and shows.
With the cost of rentals climbing yearly, it has come time to purchase a second trailer to accommodate the growing operations. This one time purchase will SAVE THE CORPS MONEY in the future. We are tired of spending funds on a truck we ultimately DON’T own, and the cost of purchasing a trailer vs. renting a truck is roughly the same for the 2016 season.
The catch is, we need to do this SOONER then later, and though the rental funds have been budgeted throughout the summer, we have a chance at a perfect trailer NOW, we can’t wait too long!
We are asking for your help! It’s not a huge undertaking but as we outfit the 30+ guard with uniforms and equipment and the usual stocking up for the summer that happens, drum heads, props, etc., we could use some extra help to reach our goal of $5000.
If you can, please click on the donate button below and make your donation today, no amount is too small or too large and any help will be appreciated for years to come in the form of a new trailer. The corps is poised to make a big impact this season, please help us make it easier for everyone as we expand the Bushwacker fleet this spring and for the future!
GO Bush! And thank you to the best supporters a corps can have!
