PAHS Students are DCA World Champions!

Colleagues: Over the course of the summer, junior Jacob Springer and senior Noah Horton – were members of the Reading Buccaneers – an all-age drum corps based out of Reading, PA.  

Along with close to 120 other performers, we are very happy to announce that this past weekend, the Buccaneers captured their 15th circuit championship, a feat that puts them at the top of the list for every all-age corps in the country, and 2nd overall for all groups worldwide.

Jacob & Noah spent every weekend this past summer with the corps - and especially in the case of August, were travelling back and forth from our marching band during the week to the corps on the weekends (essentially having two shows in their heads simultaneously).  Performances were spread out among the northeast: from Massachusetts to Western Maryland.  Championships were held in a prelims-finals format this past weekend in Rochester, New York.

This is an amazing accomplishment for these two students: if you see them in the halls this week, please pass on a note of congratulations!
