Awesome. Glad you like it. I was a trombone player with Bucs this year. DCA is all-age, we had ages 15-42 I think. We’ll be in Indy next year so that’s super exciting too. Looking back, it’s really quite impressive what we (and the rest of DCA, for that matter) accomplished with weekend only rehearsals.
Unlike DCI, these All-Age corps practice and perform only on weekends - like the old days when I started marching in the early '70's! I marched Reading Buccaneers snare line in 1983 and helped instruct the pit in 1984/85. It was so great to attend the Buc's Banquet last night - saw old friends and made new friends!
Thank you so much! We appreciate you watching us perform! To answer your question, we generally accept anybody 16 years and older...with few exceptions if parents are around regularly. You can definitely do the thing if you want to, we're always looking for new members!
You’re very welcome! That’s amazing. I can not believe I haven’t heard much about DCA until now. You guys were fantastic! I never knew it was possible to march after college, but I’m intrigued! 😁
Thank you! I’m the guitarist for this show. It was an amazing experience putting together a program that was so progressive and maybe a bit experimental. Love your videos by the way!
Thanks so much for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed our show!! Loved watching your reactions and glad to help introduce you to the world of DCA! I was one of the mello players :))
We are thrilled to have made a new all age fan!!! This was such a fun show to design and thrilled that you enjoyed it! Age range is generally mid to late teens through mid 30’s-early 40’s! It’s a unique version of the activity and it’s a blast!
They were amazing! Sorry to hear that DCA is going away, DCA and DCI are merging in 2024. Reading Buccaneers won the first DCA Championship in 1965! We are calling it 'Bookends'. Won the first, and won the last!
The "Reading" Buccaneers? Jezzuz H. Christ! They aren't the Reading Rainbow! It's pronounced redding. As in the city in England. As in the city in Pennsylvania.
To be fair, as soon as he heard DCA's announcer give the correct pronunciation, he acknowledged his mistake. But your comment reminds me that there ought to be a drum corps Gnadenhutten, Ohio.
Wow, both DCA and DCI are sh*t. What with the poop squats, goofy leg movements, electric guitars, etc. why not just call it Drum Band? It’s certainly no longer Drum Corps.
@@jakemusicman You fell into my linguistic trap just like most liberals do. You need to learn the difference between “this” and “that”. If I was referring to what I said, my user name would be ThisIsJustCrazyTalk. However, I was referring to everything you said, starting with mispronouncing the city name of Reading, as crazy talk; hence, the user name of ThatIsJustCrazyTalk. Learn English, and stop butchering the language.
@@ThatIsJustCrazyTalk He corrected himself on the city name as soon as he heard the announcer give it. There are lots of towns across America whose pronunciation is hard to guess. Consider Louisville, Kentucky vs. Louisville, Ohio. Likewise, if you've never been to southeast Pennsylvania or southeast England, you might not know how Reading is pronounced.
Who cares about the nuances between this and that. His comment is spot on for a lot of traditional DC enthusiasts. Using trombones fuels the argument. Where do you draw the line between traditional and progressive? IDK, but this is no longer Drum Corps.

I didn’t know it was weekend only rehearsals. Wow!
My dad teaches this drum corp and I’ve grown up in their family my whole life and they were absolutely amazing!

That makes me so happy that you enjoyed the video! You were awesome!
Way to go Buccaneers ❤ 3:38

You’re very welcome!
Thanks for watching! It was definitely a fun show to march this year (tuba player)
We’re glad you liked it
You’re welcome! It was an awesome performance!
This was a sick show to march, amazing drill and some kickass music too. Techs and staff did an amazing job too
I’m sure! I had so much fun watching it, I can only imagine how cool it was to be apart of it!

You definitely made a new fan! I bet designing is so rewarding. Thanks for the info 🙂
Amazing! Such a great show! Dez you rocked the base drum!
I marched Skyliners this year and we had a 69 year old Mello player out there killin' it with us! Super awesome to see the wide variety of ages!
That’s so cool!
So glad you enjoyed it! I was another tuba player! Hope you see more of the amazing corps with DCI All age!!
I hope to! I’m a little preoccupied with fall marching band right now, but I plan to come back to it!
I find their Alumni Corps more relatable these days, but can certainly appreciate this as a high-level performance. Nicely done. 😎
Jake you should march Reading!
Age range varies greatly in groups and it's getting younger. I have seen members as young as 12-13 and as old as 62.
Thanks for the love man!
Age range is 16 to 100! I was the oldest guy out there this year, 41. Come on out and audition!
That’s so awesome! You never know, I just might have to 🤔
Where did you find this multicam?
Same lol. Would love to get my hands on it
You should watch Atlanta cv it’s a really good show
Bushwackers next???
They were amazing! Sorry to hear that DCA is going away, DCA and DCI are merging in 2024.

Trumpet player this year (and 2019). Btw I was one of the old farts at 36.
That’s awesome!

That's ok. We hear it all the time. That and the price of corn. 😂
Hey Gary- you wouldn't by chance be a Belvederes alumni, would you?@@garykoenig3397

Your username describes your comment best. That is just crazy talk…
