New drum corps in Germany
Germany has gained a new drum corps: The Crescenters Drum & Bugle Corps from Weyhausen. The new corps hopes to start participating in drum corps contests from 2016 onwards.
The Crescenters were formerly known as Fanfarenzug Weyhausen. Last year the corps embarked on a new musical direction and it now wants young people as its main target audience. The new name of the corps is derived from 'crescent', a 'half moon'. The sixteen farms that were the origins of the village of Weyhausen in 1344 formed the shape of a crescent.
The corps is working on a biennial show which will be presented in 2016 at the Rasteder Musiktage and at the German Open. In the long term, the corps aims to participate in the DCE European Championships in Kerkrade. The Crescenters will hold open days on 31st January and 1st February.
