Additionally, the Bucs perform in various venues including, parades, exhibitions, concerts, and field shows. The Buccaneers are an organization rich in history and tradition. The corps was organized in 1957, as a parade corps by “age-outs” of various local junior corps and veterans of WWII and Korea. The corps soon embarked upon field competitions in the 1958 season. The Buccaneers rose to the top quickly, winning three consecutive VFW Championships in 1960, 1961, and 1962. When Drum Corps Associates (DCA) was formed, the Bucs continued their success, becoming the first DCA Champions in 1965. Since that time, the Buccaneers have won the DCA title 19 more times to become the most decorated corps in DCA history. In the last several years the Buccaneers enjoyed unprecedented competitive success, completing 6 consecutive undefeated championship seasons from 2005 through 2010 and taking the DCA/DCI championship 17 out of the last 20 years. The final season of DCA in 2023 resulted in a Buccaneer championship, bringing the circuit full circle as it moved into the future. In 2024 DCA and DCI (Drum Corps International) merged to form the DCI All-Age division, breathing new life into the activity as a whole. The Buccaneers took this opportunity and ran with it, becoming the inaugural DCI All-Age Champions in 2024 with an undefeated season. Learn more at readingbuccaneers.org.
