The drum corps activity in Europe does not have as large a following or as many competing corps as that in North America, but for the job of organizing competitions across multiple nations, Drum Corps Europe performs its duties effectively. In 2006, they announced that they would closely cooperate with other drum corps organisations in Europe, from the Netherlands, France, Germany and the United kingdom. One of the organization's primary aims was to develop one European judging manual and a unified judges training system. In addition to hosting competitions with European corps, DCE has welcomed the occasional American corps to perform at European competitions, most recently the Blue Devils International Corps in 2015.
