Indoor Percussion Europe has cancelled the contests in Ireland and France. The contest in Sweden and of course the IPE European Championships will go ahead, with participants from no less than eight European countries.
“Due to the low number of registrations for the Irish and French contests, we have decided to cancel these,” says Erwin van Gemert from Indoor Percussion Europe. “We regret to have to announce this, but considering the number of participants, and the costs of the locations and the judges, we can't organise these events.”
However, IPE has nothing to complain about when it comes to the wider field of participants. Seventeen groups from eight countries will appear at the starting line this winter. Never before have so many nationalities participated in the IPE competition. In addition to groups from the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Denmark and Sweden, the indoor percussion organisation is also welcoming participants from Italy (yME Indoor Percussion) and Austria (MDC Drumline) for the first time.
The full list of participants can be found at www.indoorpercussioneurope.org.
