Drum Corps Europe

Drum Corps Europe is the international organization that regulates the European drum corps activity. Akin to its American counterpart and predecessor Drum Corps International, every year, Drum Corps Europe organizes its European Drum Corps Championships, with corps from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Belgium, Germany, Sweden, Italy, and other countries. The next Championships are to take place on September 24th 2011 in the Parkstad Limburg Stadion, Kerkrade, Netherlands.

The drum corps activity in Europe does not have as large of a following or as many competing corps as that in the United States, but for the job of organizing competitions across multiple nations Drum Corps Europe performs its duties effectively. In 2006, they announced that they will closely cooperate with other drum corps organisations in Europe, from the Netherlands, France, Germany and the United kingdom. There are plans to come to one European judging manual and judging training. In addition to hosting competitions with European corps, DCE has welcomed the occasional American corps to participate in European competitions, most recently the Blue Devils in 2005.
