International corps enter ‘Summer Spectacular’ in Woking
The Dutch corps Jubal from Dordrecht and Juliana from Middelburg, and the Celtic Crusaders from Mullingar, Ireland, have registered for the Woking show on Saturday 4th July. The show is hosted by Cadence Drum & Bugle Corps, in association with Drum Corps United Kingdom, and they are proud to present the 'International Summer Spectacular' - a European Music Games Regional.
DCUK and DCE have been working hard to make this international event possible and it is the first time that corps from three countries meet prior to the DCE Championships, including all current European top 4 corps. On behalf of DCUK, MPAUK's Chairman Alan Thompson commented: “I am really pleased we have been able to bring all these parties together for what should be an exciting day of drum corps and thank the corps from Holland and Ireland for making the commitment to come to the UK in July – we look forward to welcoming you all.”
Marcel Matthijsse, Chairman of Drum Corps Europe, is also delighted: "It has always been a pleasure to see corps crossing borders and compete at European Music Games across Europe. This International Summer Spectacular is not only a great opportunity for British fans to have a fantastic drum corps day, but also a unique moment for the corps from different countries to see each other during the season."
Paul Riddell of Cadence added "Cadence are proud to be returning to Kingfield Stadium, Woking once again in 2015 to host the "International Summer Spectacular". We look forward to welcoming our friends from the Netherlands and the Republic of Ireland and hope they all play to a packed house in the superb Leslie Gosden Stand. We hope this event will be a big part of the on-going resurgence of all forms of Drum & Bugle Corps in the United Kingdom."
More details about this event will be released nearer the date but keep Saturday 4th July free for a great drum corps experience.
