"We have been on a tidal wave for years now. I don't remember there having been so much direct communication with the staff/units before the new winter season, questions about our new venue, judges, dates to questions regarding the IPE rules. We can finally say that the IPE European Championships are a unique event, which indoor percussion units set their sights on. This winter is going to be hot!"

For the fourth time, IPE will hold the Individuals & Ensembles competition during the IPE European Championships on Sunday March 29th. Besides the Indoor Percussion Championships in the afternoon, individual members and ensembles can compete in the European I&E Competition for Percussion.

The categories are Individual Percussion (snare drum, multiple tenor drum, percussion keyboard, timpani, multiple percussion) and Ensembles (bass drum ensemble, cymbal ensemble and percussion ensemble).

Registration is easy: just click on the register button on the I&E Competition Page and fill in the entry form before March 10th. The first six competitors have already registered.
