Reading Buccaneers Kick Off 2025 Season with Early Performances and Exciting Upcoming Events

​

The Reading Buccaneers have officially launched into their 2025 season with energy, enthusiasm, and a couple of strong early performances that have already begun to showcase this year's program, On Display.

Our first performance took place on May 10 at Conrad Weiser High School, as part of our alumni's annual Music in the Mountains event. This tradition continues to be a highlight on our calendar thanks to the incredible dedication of our alumni, who once again organized a memorable evening at a top-notch venue. The event featured impressive performances from our small ensemble Banner Brass, the Buccaneer Alumni Drum and Bugle Corps, and of course, the 2025 Reading Buccaneers in a standstill presentation of our new program. It was a night filled with passion, pride, and community.

​

The second performance brought us outdoors to Mohnton, PA over Memorial Day weekend, where we participated in the town’s annual parade and Concert in the Park. This cherished tradition has become a staple of our early season, and we’re deeply grateful to the Mohnton Memorial Day Committee for the warm invitation and wonderful hospitality once again this year.

​

If you haven’t had a chance to catch the corps yet, you’re in luck! We’re excited to invite you to our annual Friends and Family Day this Saturday, June 14, at Perkiomen Valley High School, 509 Gravel Pike, Collegeville, PA. 19426. This special event is open to all and offers a unique chance to get a behind-the-scenes look at the Buccaneers in action.
