Xirtaeb

Xirtaeb Drum & Bugle Corps is a department of the Xirtaeb Association where team spirit and performance go hand in hand. The corps consists of young, ambitious people with an average age of 19. Xirtaeb performs in the forms of shows and concerts regularly at tattoos and contests. Performances take place in the Netherlands as well as abroad. Locations from the past include the United States, Canada, Germany, France, Belgium, England, Italy, Switzerland and Austria. Having to travel is often seen as an opportunity to spend an entire weekend together. These weekends are characterized by an extremely good atmosphere among the members.

Xirtaeb has been very successful in competition. The corps was crowned Dutch and European Champion many times, and also scored highly at various editions of the World Music Contest in Kerkrade and the DCI world championchips in USA & Canada.

Xirtaeb strives to put a new piece of entertainment on the fields every year: theater with fast-paced drill, expressive music and overwhelming effects. This style originates in the United States, the home and heart of drumcorps. Shows are designed by Dutch and American hands, and are performed by about 80 marching members.

Being a part of Xirtaeb is an experience that will not soon be forgotten. A team of friends that works extremely hard for one goal while having a great time! An education in music is no necessity in order to join; all skills can be taught from scratch.
