WE NAILED IT !

Yesterday evening were the annual Drum Corps Nederland national Championships.
With the great season we have had so far we knew we had pretty good chances of winning that title back this year.

And so it happened! Eventhough last night's performance wasn't the best we could have done and the crowd was absolutely dull.
We kinda need them to get us hyped even more! Corps need crowd response!

Here's two video clips of last night's winning show:
PART #1
PART #2


And the show still leaves room for improvement. Lots of individual mistakes can still be corrected easily and a lot of uncertainty can be taken away in some of the forms.

We topped all cations except for auxiliary (colorguard), but with only 0.15 point difference with Beatrix' the guard came awfully close in their caption as well.

We'll have four more performances on our agenda. This afternoon we will be doing an exhibition performance at a tattoo in Venray, where the local band is celebrating its 50th anniversary. I just woke up, so I don't really feel like it all that much (yet!). The bus is leaving in less than an hour.

Then next weekend we're in Hilversum at the Media Music Festival, organized by our closest "rivals" Beatrix. That will be an excellent event, for they have an impressive line-up of performing groups.

Unfortunately there are no performances scheduled in the weekend of September 19, so we can spend time on making the last adjustments to the show.

September 26 it's party time: the Drum Corps Europe Championships in Kerkrade.
I bet you we'll be more ready than ever before!

Enjoy,
