Yearly DCE Judges College this weekend in Belgium
This weekend DCE accredited judges from across Europe will meet in Zwevegem - Belgium for the 2014 Judges College. The college is an annual event held in May, which follows the conclusion of the winterguard and indoor percussion seasons and provides an opportunity for judges to ready themselves ahead of the new drum corps season.
"This year we have all but 2 of our close to 30 member team in attendance", says DCE Adjudication Manager MArk Bassett. "I’m pleased to say that we also have two trainees attending in the hope of becoming accredited." The objective of the college is to explain the changes of the Competition Manual, continue the education process, the transfer of knowledge and to reinforce the foundation of the judging process. This year’s theme is ‘Enhance the Experience’.
"I am very much looking forward to meeting with friends from the judging team this weekend", Mark Bassett continues. "We have a full agenda to cover, with topics that will help us continue to provide a professional service to the drum corps community in Europe. It’s hard to believe that almost 8 months have passed since championships in Kerkrade and the first competition in Roosendaal is just around the corner. I hope that this weekend’s college will be a fun and educational experience, which will focus and energise all judges for the upcoming European Music Games."
Drum Corps Europe is always looking for new judges to join the team. If you are interested, please drop me an email at judges@drumcorpseurope.org.
