Positive Values

Joining the Bushwackers has proven to be a dramatic positive experience for our members for over 30 years.

In addition to perfecting music & visual techniques, members learn important life skills such as discipline, team work, and social skills that benefit them for the rest of their lives.

Physical & mental activities are designed to enhance each member's artistic skill set, and have the added benefit of promoting health and weight loss as well.

Educational Focus

Members are guided by world class experts and licensed educators who hold the education and safety of the members as their highest priority. Members learn to manage multiple priorities and are taught that their school commitments come first.

When all the instruction and training provided is added up, the cost averages out to less than $5/hour. A very reasonable amount for the positive life long lessons that are learned.

World Class Drum Corps Experience

The Bushwackers provide the most competitive drum corps experience in a weekend-only format. This allows members to receive world class instruction and show design, while still having a life outside drum corps to work, play, or spend time with family during the week.

The environment is friendly and supportive where members form lasting friendships while they travel on bus trips to several of the Northeastern states. This type of experience looks great on resumes and college applications, and the weekend schedule keeps the cost affordable.
