Junior corps Confetti ceases to exist
Junior corps Confetti is quitting. After 21 years, the board of the corps from Goes - The Netherlands in consultation with the parents has had to decide to dissolve the association.
After the summer break, more and more members left for various reasons. In recent years, Confetti was not large, but always achieved a membership of more than twenty. “Last year we also had to deal with kids whose membership was terminated by the parents during the season,” says Steffanie Traas from Confetti. “Because of this, we had to put our new members in the show immediately. This had a big impact on the show for the rest of the season and also within the corps itself.”
To start a new season, in addition to the fourteen members that remain, the corps would need at least ten new members. A membership recruitment drive with a few weeks of workshops did produce nine enthusiastic children, but ultimately none of them have signed up as members. It also led to trouble in getting a complete the staff team for next season. The board would like to thank Drum Corps Netherlands and Drum Corps Europe for their support.
