New direction for Concord
As Concord approaches the celebrations of this milestone in our history, the corps is about to embark on two exciting new projects that will take their members into a whole new aspect of musical performance.
The Concord Experience is a performance ensemble that incorporates the excellence and skills of drum corps with a large element of entertainment designed for wider audiences in an indoor environment. Comprising brass and marching percussion with accompanying rhythm and keyboard sections, the show will include dancers and some electronic instrumentation.
Street Noize is a development of a group that has already taken new ideas on percussion into the wider community. Using both traditional and world instrumentation, the ensemble aims to explore many styles and aspects of percussion and to perform in a range of venues to many different audiences.
Both these ensembles are open to all from the age of 12 â?? there are no upper age limits and no requirements for prior experience â?? there will be no auditions â?? all interested applicants will be given the opportunity to perform. Rehearsals for both ensembles will be based in central Sheffield. They will seek to appear over as wide an area as possible â?? including mainland Europe.
