The Berks Arts Council ( http://berksarts.org/) gives the Pagoda Award to the Reading Buccaneers Drum & Bugle Corps. It is well deserved. The Buccaneers have raised the bar for Drum & Bugle Corps winning the Championship in their division year after year. We talked with Lou Tierno who started in the Brass Line in the mid-80’s and marched till 2000. He is now the director of the Corps and says, “It’s been a long time since I marched… Watching the energy building I really miss marching” Lou explains what a Drum & Bugle Corps is and how you can become part of it. He says everybody is welcome – no experience necessary! Lou said, “It’s all about how bad you want it and how much you are willing to work” The Reading Buccaneers (https://www.readingbuccaneers.org) certainly do this community proud!
