On Saturday September 27, the 2025 European Drum Corps Championships will once again be held in Dordrecht, the Netherlands. Twelve corps/units will compete in four different classes.
The FC Dordrecht stadium is a tried and trusted venue which was the home of the Dutch national Championships for many years, and will now serve as European Championships venue for the fourth year in a row.
The 12 participating corps/bands represent four European countries: The Netherlands, Germany, Ireland and Belgium. A unit from one other country is still negociating and working on getting the trip funded.
Corps will compete in Premier Class, Junior Class, Concert Class and Show Class.
All units will compete in their respective class prelims in the afternoon and will return to the field in the evening for the Championships finals and full retreat.
The performance schedule will be posted Sunday September 21.
