Het
Arnhems Trompetterkorps
(The Arnhem Trumpeting Corps)
The
Arnhems Trumpeting Corps or as said in Dutch ‘Het
Arnhems Trompetterkorps’ (A.T.K.) was
founded in 1973 and grew steadily into the
present full-bodied entity which is well known as a
marching band and a show orchestra.
The ATK has
been at all major Dutch civilian tattoo’s and also
participated at the
military
tattoo's of Breda (Holland) and Frankfurt (Germany)
in Frankfurt's Tradeshow's Hall.
The corps has
been invited several times to make a tour along the
French Riviera. Furthermore the ATK has participated
in concerts en tattoos in Aabenraa Denmark, Iserlohn
Germany, and Gent Belgium a several times.
The
Instructors
Since 2009 the
band is musically lead by Marcus Kerpershoek. Most
of the Music played by the band are composed or
edited by him. Dennis Smits is choreographer of the
galashow.
Drum Major is
Berry Stinnissen.
Shows
The corps has a
selection of colourful uniforms, when combined with
an “easy on the ear”
musical
presentation the audience is provided a compatible
marriage of sound and colour.
The band has 2
shows. The galashow with well known songs performed
by Dutch artists. During this show the band
performs in a traditional gala-uniform.
The second show
is more nonsensical and is called ‘All Hands on
Deck’. This show is full of Dutch and foreign marine
songs on a nice choreography. During this show all
the musicians are dressed as sailors.
For a full
impression of both shows, please read the English
version of the Speakertekst on this website.
As you can see,
ATK has numerous possibilities that can be adapted
almost anywhere.
The band
performance is always a highlight of any organized
event.
