Jubal and Majestic join forces
March 2010—Jubal drum & bugle corps from Dordrecht (The Netherlands) has found a new partner for their percussion section. Majestic Instruments from the town of Nijehaske in Friesland will provide their 'state of the art' fielddrums and front ensemble instruments for the corps for the upcoming years.
At the conclusion of the Musik Messe in Frankfurt (Germany) the last details were discussed with Peter Vulperhorst, managing diretor for Majestic, and the agreement was sealed. At the Musik Messe Jubal was represented by corps president Bert van Maaren and vice-president Jan Dubbeldam. Both parties are extremely enthusiastic about the joint collaboration.

Vulperhorst: "Jubal is one of the leading drum & bugle corps that sets the tone in the European corps scene. We are very pleased to be providing this corps with our instruments. A dream has come true!" Corps president Van Maaren is equally thrilled: "Majestic is a company that originated in Van der Glas Heerenveen and is currently making rapid developments. Jubal wants to contribute to this. We are proud of our new Dutch partner."
Jubal wants to open up their horizon and contribute to the development of instruments and other equipment. Jubal's drumline, multiple European champion in a variety of disciplines, will exchange their instruments in the near future for those manufactured by Majestic. The right moment will be decided together. Jubal and Majestic are aiming at a collaboration for many years to come, since continuity is a vital component in the field of research and development. With great pleasure Jubal is looking forward to the collaboration with Majestic and cannot wait to welcome the new fielddrums and front ensemble instruments.
