Lauryn Heller returns to the Bushwackers for the 2019 season as our Visual
Coordinator, Color Guard Designer and Caption Supervisor.
Lauryn has experienced the world of the marching arts from a very young age,
particularly because of her mother’s influence. She attributes much of her success
to her 8 years performing with the WGI A class finalist Haddon Heights HS “High
Voltage” color guard program and its exceptional staff (2002-2009). After high
school, Lauryn marched indoor color guard with The Light Brigade (2010), Alter Ego
(2011, 2012), and The Black Watch (2014, 2016). Additionally, Lauryn marched 6
years in The Cadets Color Guard (2008-2013).
Lauryn’s instructional experience includes Haddon Heights HS, Washington
Township HS, Surge Independent, The Cadets (2014, 2015), The Black Watch
(2017,2018) Bushwackers (2016 – Present), Blue Knights (2016 – Present), and
other programs in the New Jersey area.
In almost every aspect of her life, Lauryn chooses to dedicate her time and efforts
to the growth and support of the youth. She has earned an Associate’s degree in
social services from Gloucester County College and a Bachelor’s degree in
psychology from Rowan University. By day, Lauryn is a kindergarten aftercare
teacher at an elementary school. On nights and weekends, she is working with
multiple marching arts organizations.
Lauryn is continuing in her fourth year with the Bushwackers design team and color
guard. She is inspired to continue her journey with this organization!
