Thomas Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Yeah it was a great day and I had a lot of fun! Kidsgrove Scouts were better than Jubal in their first performance and they really surprised me. But in the evening Jubal was better. Only Starriders were less than I expected... Actually, it was my first real Drum Corps Europe contest. I'm sure I'll be there next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spongehead56 Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 I wish there was a way for us Americans to see/hear some of the European corps; I'm really curious to see how Europe does drum corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Well, there are videotapes (PAL) and CDs, but I don't know if there will be any DVDs. Some videoclips can be found on http://drumcorps.org.uk/. But it isn't the same level in Europe. Jubal ended up 14th in DCI div II/III in their USA tour 2002...

BariSaege Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 DCE Finals were really fun. Seen that smaller corps with a great show have a chance to kick the big guys is amazing. My cudos to Kidsgrove Scouts and Northern Star. Never seen kids performing on this high level. It was fun to see and hear you. Starriders had a very bad performance in the afternoon. At night we gave our best and had from our side a very good show. Bringing up ~5 points from semis. Hope to see everyone next year again. Take care and have fun.

Thomas Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 English version of the DCE site: http://drumcorps.org.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudge Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 The finals were really fun. There are a few videos on the website of DCE, but it are the videos of the previous season and that was an indoor season. So quality of the videos is really #### .
