BYBA to trial DCE manual in 2007
The British Youth Band Association will trial the DCE manual this summer. The first trial of the DCE system will take place at the Academy Brass Show on 14th July 2007 for the Division I and Associate Class, with a further second half of consideration under review at this time.
Commenting on the progress Tony Patrick, BYBA Chairman says "One of the things that has impressed me about the DCE system is the fact that it does cater for all types of performance and not, as the name would suggest, merely drum corps. I have enjoyed watching a number of competitors within the DCE environment that closely match the mix that we are so proud of here in the British Youth Band Association."
"This is important to me, to my council and to our members as we pride ourselves on providing for all forms of instrumentation and styles", the BYBA Chairman says. "This will not change going forwards, and is one reason why any trial of the system will be limited to our Division I and Associate Classes at this time, but I am delighted that we have again found some common ground in which to work together on."
Paul Cartwright, Chairman of BYBA Performance says "Having reviewed the system and seen just how similar it is to the one that we are used to here in the British Youth Band Association, I am more than confident that the trials will prove it to be and extremely effective adoption for all bands and drum corps as it does cater for all styles very effectively and as we take the information forward from the trials we can and will be discussing any potential suggested amendments to it for the benefit of our members with the DCE team."
