stansea Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Are there any regular season DCA competitions scheduled this year? All I've read is not to expect to see a show in Wildwood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucyGuy66 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 DCA does not have a 2023 schedule posted (yet). If you go on each corps website, Reading and Hawthorne are the only corps I've found that have a schedule posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Thomson Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 The Buccaneer Classic is scheduled for July 15 at Hempfield High School in Landisville, PA. Initial information on this show was posted on February 8 in the "DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions" forum. More postings on this show will be made as information warrants. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJVMusic Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 From what I've heard, the Kingston show, typically held the first Saturday of August, is not happening this year. Not sure of the reason, but it is a real shame, was always one of the best shows of the year 🙁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The schedule on dci.org has Bushwackers and Fusion Core performing on Friday, and Hawthorne Caballeros and Reading Buccaneers performing on Saturday.

Jeff Ream Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 running against Allentown was never a good idea. DCA tried it in Scranton one year and had MBI come in and it didnt draw as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joefanalum Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Kingston never had a problem with Allentown... Counting the POW WOW and the Children Home one of the longest and most successful shows... I remember Ralph Silverbrand having the Cabs mark time on the old dirt field and bring a dust storm when the corps used to back up at the starting lineup.... Bucs never showed up because they gave the corp off that weekend... All the other DCA corps made it to this show many times at different years.... And a mainstay for Sky and Cabs Alum corps No show this year because city is investing many dollars in rebuilding Dietz Stadium and will be closed down for over a year.......

Fran Haring Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I've heard the stadium in Kingston is being renovated/replaced. Could be the reason for no Kingston show this year. Or I could be totally wrong. In which case, carry on. 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
