C.J. Ray, a tuba student of Matthew Blanchard here at CMS, will be marching with the Reading Buccaneers this summer. C.J. is a rising senior at Parkland High School and was selected to advance to the All-State Wind Ensemble for 2025. Congratulations, C.J.! He is also joined on the Buccaneer’s tuba line by former CMS student Ben Aloupis.
The Reading Buccaneers Drum and Bugle Corps is a not-for-profit, education-oriented, musical organization dedicated to providing its members with a unique performing experience. Organized in 1957, as a parade corps by “age-outs” of various local junior corps and veterans of WWII and Korea, the “Bucs” perform in various venues, including parades, exhibitions, concerts, and field shows.

Congratulations, C.J., on making the All-State Wind Ensemble on tuba!
