Drum Corps Germany Indoor Contest Cancelled
DrumCorpsPlanet.com - Mon, 2010-03-08 12:50
The only contest that Drum Corps Germany planned for 2010, in Witzenhausen on 29th May, has been cancelled. Too few corps registered for the DCG contest. Only two corps had agreed to participate. That's not enough to organise a contest , states Andreas Herwig from The Devils. DCG manager Michael Schendzielarz cannot believe that an indoor contest in the middle of Germany is not feasible. DCG will now look at what is possible in 2011.Read the rest of the article here (http://drumcorpseurope.org/news/publish/english/Indoor_contest_DCG_cancelled.shtml).

What should audiences expect in the visual design for Maze?With a show called Maze, the visual program needs to submerge the audience into our situation. We are entering what looks to be a fun and harmless Maze, but little did we know how difficult this would become. The audience member will experience from beginning to end the development of Maze, from simple to incredibly aggressive and complex. The audience will see the moments of tension, frustration, anger, and moments where they just want to give up and give in. Again, running through a labyrinth of changing walls and deceiving traps...
