CGN hosts indoor percussion introductions
During the contests in Goes (March 1st) and Drachten (March 15th), Color Guard Nederland offers percussion ensembles the opportunity to get to know their indoor percussion circuit. The esmebles can watch the contest and after that get into a discussion with jurors and members of participating ensembles.
Although the circuit is growing year after year, CGN is hoping that more ensembles get enthusiastic and decide to join in. "We are convinced that the Indoor Percussion Circuit (IPC) can be a very interesting competition for many percussion ensembles", says Niels Merkx, CGN's Project Manager Percussion. "But many groups are unfamiliar with the circuit and maybe don't join because of that."
During the introduction the competing ensembles explain themselves why they compete in the IPC, and why they gladly welcome more competitors. "In the recently founded IPC Advisory Team, we very soon came to the conclusion that we had to actively search for more ensembles," Niels continues. "Not for CGN, because they will facilitate what we need. No, we want more ensembles, because it means more competition."
Last week a mail was sent out to a large number of percussion ensembles in the Netherlands, Belgium and France. Registration for the introductions is still open.
