This year, the German Philipp Schüßler is the drum major of Beatrix Drum & Bugle Corps from Hilversum. He follows in the footsteps of Jade Geleijnse.

Schüßler began his drum corps career in 1997 at Fidele Vogelsanger and then marched with Wölper Löwen, Boston Crusaders and The Cadets. With the latter he became world champion at Drum Corps International. As a staff member, he worked with Con Spirito, Wölper Löwen, Starriders, The Devils, De Rijnmondband and Beatrix. Schüßler will be the 25th drum major of the Dutch corps.

“Beatrix is delighted this year to be able to add Philipp to the list of drum majors that we are proud to have had and wishes him good luck and lots of fun,” stated the corps. Beatrix is still looking for a second drum major.

Schüßler is not the only international drum major in a Dutch corps. Earlier, Juliana from Middelburg announced that the Belgian Shana Beernaert will lead the corps this year.
