We
would like to introduce to you:
The Show, Drum and Brass band Irene Lucia.
After World War II, based
on the military bands, amateur bands started to appear in Western
Europe. Due to scarcity the first bands merely existed of percussion
instruments. Clarions were added later on.
In the years, many of these (fortunately not all) clarion bands
switched to valve instruments. The main reason for this switch was
the increase of music possibilities for the bands. Another reason
was that there was a limited offer of new compositions, which forced
many clarion bands to make that switch.
A Drum and Brass band is a music company existing only of
percussionists and brass players. Music is always made together.
Show
band Irene-Lucia
Show band Irene-Lucia is a band consisting of a brass-band,
drum-band and majorettes- group.
The band is a fusion of former bands Irene and Lucia, both from Beek.
The band is well known in the province of Limburg, where it performs
regularly on annual events like Carnival and “Koninginnendag” (Day
of the Queen), organises concerts and will brighten church services
with their music. Besides annual parades in Limburg, Irene-Lucia was
also invited to many international events in Belgium France and
Germany throughout the years. In 2002 the band participated in the
“Tournament of the Low Lands” in Belgium and won first prize. This
encouraged the band to participate in a Tournament in Austria in
2003, where again they achieved great success by winning two first
prizes; in the marching competition and the show competition. The
band is now getting ready to participate in the biggest competition
yet, the WMC (World Music Concourse) in Heerlen.
A drum-brass band is a
band whose main goal is: making music in open-air settings. On the
street (in parades) and on squares (.........) you will be able to
see a drum-brass band and listen to a drum- brass band in the
setting it was essentially created for. This shows the band to its
full advantage. However, this does not insinuate the band can never
play in a hall or church, on the contrary, our drum-brass band can
be seen on a regular basis at indoor events or in churches.
More information in
English coming up next time!!!
