We have such great corps on the field next year, it's wonderful to see the enthusiasm of all groups", Matthijsse said.
After two very succesful 'outdoor' seasons (DCE started with two indoor seasons in 2001 and 2002), Drum Corps Europe is still growing. Next year, the European drum corps organization will run three regional contests in The Netherlands and Belgium (May 28, June 25, September 3), concluded by the DCE European Championships (September 24). The regional contest in the Belgian city Courtrai will have a special guest entering the competition: The Blue Devils Drum & Bugle Corps from Concord, California.
