Successful DCE 'tour' to national meetings
The 'tour' that was recently undertaken by DCE representatives â??â??to meetings of partner organisations and corps was very successful. DCE board members attended meetings in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Last year, Drum Corps Europe had to put a stop to the European symposium because of the limited interest of corps. The board members of DCE then decided to travel to annual meetings of partner organisations themselves in order to reach out to more corps.
The latter was very successful. In total, Drum Corps Europe directly exchanged views with 35 corps, about four times as many as the symposium would allow. Last month, there were meetings at Drum Corps Netherlands, Drum Corps United Kingdom and the Irish Marching Bands Association.
"We have received valuable feedback", DCE board member Marco Janssen stated. "We're going to work with that and will make changes in our operations in certain areas." According to the board member, the meetings were constructive. "There was a great atmosphere all around and the input was always to think about how we can improve drum corps in Europe," says Janssen.
On Saturday 15th December, there will be a meeting of the organisations working together in the European Music Games.
