The second session is about the General Effect (GE) caption and is presented by DCE GE judge Theo van den Elshout. Theo will discuss matters such as; What is GE?, How do I use or add GE in my program?, What musical/visual elements do I need to create an effective and entertaining program. Is there a successful communication of a unit’s identity and message through the quality blend of creativity and performance? How do my performers connect with the audience?
Finally, the IPE Information session provides percussion units with advice and support for making decisions regarding IPE Classifications, IPE Rules, Policies and regulations and other important matters. If you’re having questions about the IPE Competition or you're still unsure about which classification to choose, how to compete or want to find out more about a particular area of IPE, then attend the IPE Information session.
