Mosson Drum & Bugle Corps has unfortunately opted out of the DCE European Championships. The Italian corps announced that, due to internal problems, it has been forced to make this painful decision.

In previous years, Mosson Drum & Bugle Corps was a regular participant at the DCE European Championships. Last year, the corps finished in sixteenth place. According to Mosson, the corps is going through a difficult period right now, due to economic and internal circumstances. That is why the hard and painful decision has been made not to participate in the European Championships in Kerkrade this year.

Drum Corps Europe regrets the decision, and wishes Mosson every success. "We hope to see them again next year", said DCE Chairman Marcel Matthijsse. Because there were no corps on the waiting list for this year, there will not be a replacement for Mosson. That brings the number of participants in the DCE Championships to twenty corps.
