According to a Jan. 25, 2007, post on the Winter Guard International website, a historical event took place at the 80th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2006. During the parade, a nation-wide audience of parade watchers were witness to a special performance by the Special Needs Color Guard of America. And there to capture footage of this ground-breaking event was the acclaimed director, Wolfgang Busch.
This past November, the Special Needs Color Guard of America (f/k/a the Florida Special Needs Color Guard) was invited to perform in the 80th Anniversary Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City. It was the first time in history that a group of developmentally disabled young adults have ever been invited to participate in this American tradition! While performing in NYC, well-known producer and director, Wolfgang Busch was impressed with the dynamics of the group. He is now coordinating a documentary on the many achievements and exceptional participants of this guard. There is no doubt a documentary will help continue this color guard's message to the world of "bridging the gap."
Following the performance during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, Mr. Busch spent the remainder of 2006 and most of 2007 collaborating with the Special Needs Color Guard of America and their sponsors to create the second feature length documentary for Art From The Heart Films. The DVD of this inspiring documentary, A True Lesson In Humanity, is now available for purchase on Amazon.com.
