Moz Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Hi guys not seen it mentioned elsewhere so thought I'd bring it to your attention! Drum Corps Europe will once again broadcast the European Championships live on the internet this year. The live stream is free to watch and can be accessed via a banner on the website. For those who can’t come to Kerkrade this year to attend the largest drum corps event in Europe, the live webcast is the next best thing. Four cameras will cover the performances. The presentation is in the hands of Robby Overvliet, and analysts Joe Fitzpatrick and Paul Doop will give their opinions on the shows. The webcast, provided by a team of seventeen volunteers, is a production of the Video Vault (the joint video project of Drum Corps Europe and Color Guard Netherlands), in collaboration with Show & Marching Music who are in charge of the audio recordings. All performances can be viewed online soon after the Championships, in even better HD quality. Waiting months for the recordings to become available is a thing of the past. Once the shows are available as video on demand, DCE will announce this on the website. In addition to Saturday’s live webcast, a preview will be aired on Friday evening. On Friday from 8 pm Kerkrade time (7 pm GMT), Robby Overvliet will take a look at what is coming on Championships day with videos, statistics and interviews. This broadcast will also be available for free. The webcast on Saturday will start at 9 am Kerkrade time (8 am GMT). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdZA5diAHqQ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Freedman Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 This is great. Thanks for the info! The YouTube video at the bottom of your first post says "Private". But I was able to find the DCE website easily enough. That's a lot more drum corps than I realized existed in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moz Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 Yes sorry I think that was for the preview show last night - webcast is here: http://drumcorpseurope.org/content.php?article=19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bawker Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Always good to see DCE in action . . .thanks for the reminder. Enjoying Kidsgrove right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garfield Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I can't help but notice a distinct lack of tone-center among the groups in DCE. Even up the ranks, there seems to be intonation and center problems that are consistent among the groups. Is this a difference in teaching methodology among DCE staff, a difference in judging sheet content, or a reflection of a different, maybe less-intensive, practice schedule?

Probably less talent than DCI in all areas. With only around 26 or so brass, that might not help. Just like NFLE is not comparable to the NFL, DCE is the minor leagues to even DCI Open Class.

East Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Probably less talent than DCI in all areas. With only around 26 or so brass, that might not help. Just like NFLE is not comparable to the NFL, DCE is the minor leagues to even DCI Open Class. I don't think its a member-talent issue, certainly for the top corps; there's a large percentage of these corps who are DCI vets, with many other members missing out purely due to lack of funds/lifestyle choice, etc. I think it is much more to do with rehearsal schedule and staff experience. European corps only rehearse at weekends, many taking a month off in the summer as well. Additionally, all staff are volunteers, with non-band jobs to go to during the week (High School marching bands are extremely rare in Europe!).

Ghost Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Tried looking on the DCE site, but could not find what restrictions they have for corps size and ages of members. Any input would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
