Different technique to determine the order of Prelims
4 Jun 2006
|
This year, the order of the performances during the DCE Prelims will be
determined differently from last year. The order will partly be based
on the contestants' results last year.
Last year, both European
and American judges reported that a complete mix of all the Open Class
participants can cause difficulties for the judges when there are many
contestants. In view of the fact that the number of Open Class corps
teams has risen from 11 last year to 19 this year, Drum Corps Europe
has decided to use a different technique to determine the order of the
performances.
We will look firstly at the results obtained at
the DCE Championships 2005. Corps who did not participate last year,
have been added to the list on the basis of results obtained in their
national competition. The 19 corps have subsequently been divided into
four groups, as follows (in each group, the teams have been listed
alphabetically):
GROUP A - from 9.00 hours (9 am)
DAP
DIO
Southwest Union
Willem Eggert
GROUP B - from approx. 10.10 hours (10.10 am)
6th Hove Scouts
Distant Thunder
Fidele Vogelsanger
Jong-Holland
Strängnäs
GROUP C - from approx. 11.30 hours (11.30 am)
Black Knights
Federatieband
Juliana
Starriders
Wölper Löwen
GROUP D - from approx. 13.15 hours (1.15 pm)
Beatrix
Jubal
Kidsgrove Scouts
Northern Star
Senators
In
order to determine the order as objectively as possible, lots will be
drawn within each group. We will shortly be announcing the date for
this draw, which you will able to follow via the DCE website.
