Open Class Individual and Ensemble Competition schedule
Tuesday, August 7, 2012 - 1:56 PM
Event
On Wednesday, Aug. 8, it's the Open Class corps members' turn to show off their individual talents. At the Indiana Convention Center, small ensembles and soloists will participate in the 2012 Drum Corps International Open Class Individual & Ensemble Competition (I&E).
I&E gives corps members the opportunity to show off their individual and group talents, performing solo and ensemble pieces perfected by corps members outside of their normal corps rehearsal schedules. Even further, vocal and woodwind categories give members whose primary instruments may not be included in a normal drum corps setting the chance to perform. The event is free and open to the public.
