Concord Announce 2007 Summer Plans 

CONCORD DRUM & BUGLE CORPS has now confirmed their 2007 summer contest season entries. They remain fully committed to DCUK and will be appearing at all three regional shows and DCUK Finals. The corps will compete in the National Open Class.

To complete their summer contesting schedule, CONCORD will be applying to enter two BYBA contests – at Batley and Stafford. They will apply to compete in BYBA Division 1.

Whilst still fielding a relatively young corps, the current DCUK Class “A” Champions believe that this level of competition will be challenging and valuable to our membership. They will continue to pursue their long-term aims of providing entertainment, excitement and enjoyment for their audiences. Their show programme of “Diamonds and Divas” is designed to achieve those aims in providing accessible and memorable shows.

In addition to competition outings, CONCORD will be appearing in a series of high-profile public events, including the Manchester Tattoo and the UK Corporate Games. They will be providing half-time entertainment and during-the-match ”encouragement” for both Sheffield Steelers ice hockey and Sheffield Sharks basketball teams and presenting a percussion workshop for Derbyshire County Council Music Education Services. A European trip is also in the planning stages for later in the year.

CONCORD still has a few vacancies left for the 2007 season – across all areas but mainly in brass and colour guard sections. If you are interested in finding out more about the CONCORD experience and you are currently unconnected to any other registered unit, please call us on 0114 2491460 or email : rcs@concord.org.uk.
