CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas â One of the greatest honors to be bestowed on someone at Buc Days is the title of king or queen. Every year, 20 high school students compete for the honor, with $62,000 in scholarships to be distributed amongst the contestants for the Buc Days Port of Corpus Christi King and Queen Leadership Program.
âActually being a part of the parade, being on a float, and getting to drive down in the night and be a part of that, was really exciting. Also, to be able to do it with all the other people who were a part of the program, so all my friends were in it, it was just really exciting for us,â said 2019 Buc Days King, RJ Loa.
