Eddie Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Drum Corps Japan (DCJ) is celebrating their 15th year in opperation in 2007. You can get all the info for this year at dcjpn.org. But being that it's all in Japanese, I thought I would give you a bit of translation. First off, the Championships. This year, the name is changing. It is no longer "Drum Corps Japan Championships" but instead, "All Japan Championships." This year's championships will be featuring all the great drum & bugle corps (Sonic Lancers, Cherry Blossoms, Phoenix Regiment, Imperial Sound, Tokyo Phoenix, The Yokohama Scouts, Yokohama Inspires) plus a few new faces (I know of one corps for sure that will be participating for its first time). What's different for this year are as follows: - New Date: Championships will be held on November 11 of this year (before AJMBA Nationals), instead of the following January. - New line-up of competition: This year's competition will include a morning "Any-Key" line-up. This new class will compete and be critiqued separately from the other drum corps. Groups in participation are still restricted to Front bell instruments only. - New location: This year's championships will be held OUT DOORS!!! at Ajinomoto Stadium (photos / home page), home of the Tokyo Verdy 1969 and FC Tokyo professional soccer teams. Of course, more infor can be found at http://www.dcjpn.org/ If you find yourself wanting to go somewhere this November and you're in the mood for some drum corps... GO TO TOKYO!!! and support Japan's Drum & Bugle Corps. ------------ Other DCJ events: Tokyo Open (aka: Autumn Preview) October 21, 2007 Ohta Stadium Hachioji Open: August, 2007 (more info later) New for this year!!! Drum Corps Preview & The Yokohama Scouts DCI Farewell Event July 7, 2007 Kawazaki Baseball Stadium (home page I'll try and give updates as the season progresses much like last year.

InspaDave Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 a few new faces (I know of one corps for sure that will be participating for its first time). - New location: This year's championships will be held OUT DOORS!!! Really?! Awesome! (if it is you). This year's championships will be held OUTDOORS!!! That is good to hear. I always thought DCJ needed a bigger venue. Maybe they will hire a good video crew to record the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
