Jubal tops first DCE contest 2005
Jubal, from Dordrecht - the Netherlands, has topped the first Drum Corps Europe show of the 2005 season. That contest took place in the Dutch city of Middelburg. The power of Jubal's 'Danzón' program was credited with 60.850 by the judges.
In the Open Class, four corps entered the field: Jubal, Juliana, Jong-Holland and DAP. Jubal topped the effect, brass, music and visual captions.
Juliana, from Middelburg, performed a show called 'Red Revolution' with Russian music, including the very famous 'Kalinka'. This show is somewhat of a departure for Juliana, after four years of jazz programs. Juliana took field percussion and color guard. Second, 54.575.
Jong-Holland, from Zwijndrecht, the Netherlands, took third with a score of 43.625 points. Their show is a mix of the classic musicals 'Les Misérables' and 'Phantom of the Opera', and included a conjuring trick at the end.
DAP, from Apeldoorn, the Netherlands, is laying a show called 'Hete Bliksem', which could literally be translated as 'Hot Lightning'. This show includes recognizable tunes like 'Aztec Fire' and 'Birdland'. DAP earned fourth place with a score of 40.300.
In the A-Class, only one corps entered the field: Blue Phoenix from Axel. Two years ago, Blue Phoenix competed in DCE for the first time, only several months after their founding. This year, the sweaters are replaced by real uniforms, and the corps has grown with 30 percent. Their show includes pieces like 'Paint it, Black' and 'In the Army Now', and they earned first place with a score of 29.325.
The Cadet Class featured two corps: Jong Avalance from Zwijndrecht and Jong Axel from Axel. Jong Avalance topped the cadet class with 41.875 points, while Jong Axel came in second with 32.300 points.
