DCFREAK Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Ok I know of DCUK and DCE but what other European circuits are there? Where do corps like Jubal and Beatrix compete? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BariSaege Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 There is also Drum Corps Germany growing. Jubal and Beatrix are competing in DCE, but till now DCE is not the head organisation off all Eurpean organisations. But the people who do DCE are very good and it looks good for Drum Corps here in the old world. Any questions, feel free to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danieltenor Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 There is a new little brother from DCE called DCN (Drum Corps Nederland) en they are going to take care of the Dutch competition starting in 2006. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevingamin Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 The British Youth Band Association also features drum corps during their competitions. Some corps are members of both DCUK and BYBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They kept using the DCH name till 1999 and continued doing their own Championships till 2002. In 2003 there was a National Show Championship with drumcorps & traditional corps from all major leagues all over The Netherlands. In 2004 that Championship was combined with the DCE Finals. You are wrong about just 1 contest. There are more. Fact that none of the Drum Corps registered doesn't mean there is no contest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was in Germany teaching in 1986-88 it was already doing well. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You are right ther was an organisation called Drum Corps Deutschland in your time. This organisation went inactive in the early 90s. In late autuum 2001 a group of DC people brought all active marching corps to the table and founded Drum Corps Germany. 2002 was our first official season with contests and finals. Since then Drum Corps is growing in Germany. We are still small especially in members on the field, but the people work with heart and passion. We are all-age and some corps has members service their 25 season on the field in a row. We hope DC in Germany will grow and become mor known than in previous years. Check out the homepage www.drumcorps-germany.de Any questions? Feel free to contact me directly.
