	Buekorps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Buekorps (literally "Bow Corps" or "Archery Brigade") are traditional marching youth organizations in Bergen, Norway.
		Though the structure and ceremony of the Buekorps has military roots, the brigades are active in various other ways, ranging from physical activity and play to charitable work.
		The buekorps have their official season from May through the summer, but are most active during spring, with Norwegian Constitution Day on May 17th as the high point of the season.

		Buekorps was originally meant only for the boys but in 1991 the first Buekorps for girls was created and called Vågen Bataljon.
		The kids entering Buekorps are usually between 10 and 20 years old and choose their own leaders within the group.
		The Buekorps play an important part in the communities of the separate districts of the city.

	Buekorpsene i Bergen - Content
		A BUEKORPS (literally Bow Corp or Archery Brigade) may, basically, be described as groups of boys who take to the streets of Bergen each spring and march to the beat of drums, flying their flags and sporting their uniforms.
		To understand how the BUEKORPS came to be, and why they have existed in their present form for almost a century-and-a-half, we need to look at the history of Bergen itself: Up to the 1880´s most Norwegian towns, including Bergen, had their own Citizens´ Guards.
		Ardent BUEKORPS fans and supporters in Bergen claim that the survivors are those who accept´ no parental interference with internal affairs; and that the autonomy of the boys´ own leadership is what it is all about.

		Buekorps is a special organization in the sense of it being run solely by youth and children.
		In a buekorps, the youth learned to organize, both themselves and others, they learned to make desicions and to agree with the majority - even if they might have other opinions.
		The membership of buekorps was voluntary, - none were obliged to stay there, the difference being obvious to school, which you had to attend.

		Bergen's "buekorps" are quite unique --- no other city in the world is known to have anything similar, and the members of these "buekorps" are boys, aged 9-21.
		Each "buekorps" got "officers" and "soldiers", and each shaped a banner with a symbol and the name of the "buekorps" on.
		Back in the old days, the different "buekorps" fought with each other with their bare hands -- but these days, the "winner" is the "buekorps" with most members and the best formations.

	Norwegian Constitution Day - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the municipality of Asker, outside Oslo, the children gather outside the residence of the throne heir at Skaugum Estate in the morning (giving the Prince and his family time to attend the parade in Oslo later in the day).
		Bergen has its own traditions for the parade, including comic troupes, various local organizations, a children's parade, and the buekorps.
		In addition to the children's parades the streets are filled with young and old, turning out in festive attire, and vendors selling ice cream, hot dogs, and lately, kebabs.

		But everything is sort of training for the 17th of May when all the buekorps march in the parade a long with the brassbands, sprtsteams, and everybody else in the parade.
		There are 15 buekorps in total, (12 boys only, 2 girls only and one mixed) there were only boys only buekorps untill asomething like 13 years ago when the first girls only buekorps was founded.
		Many don't like girls in buekorps, and refuse to aknowledge them (they say it interferes with the tradition) I think it is sad that they can't accept girls in buekorps, since the tradition is dying out, and the girls have just the same right to make a buekorps as the boys have.

		A BUEKORPS (literally "Bow Corps" or "Archery Brigade") may, very superficially, be described as groups of boys who take to the streets of Bergen each spring and march to the beat of drums, flying their flags and showing their uniforms.
		There is, of course, much more to it than meets the eye, and the citizens of Bergen regard the BUEKORPS movement as being as much part of their home town as are the seven mountains or the rainy weather.
		Recognizing the folkloristic value of the BUEKORPS, the local authorities and the tourist organizations make use of show platoons and drum beaters (some of whom are brilliant drummers) to underline the very special, living traditions of Bergen.

		On a more personal note, I woke up to the sound of cannons at 07:00, which is ridiculously early for a gun salute in peacetime.
		Just as I had managed to drift back to sleep, I was woken up again by the stupid local tradition called "buekorps" (picture), which is essentially kids allowed to make a maximum amount of noise with drums while dressed in ancient military-style uniforms.
		People in Bergen who love the "buekorps" tradition generally live in the suburbs.

		The Boys Brigades (Buekorps) here in Bergen start their marching and drumming in January and don't stop until mid-May.
		On one hand its cute watching a 7 year old trying to march carrying a mock-rifle or crossbow, but weekend after weekend and it starts to be too much.
		Bergen has a number of memorials to members of the Buekorps who died fighting the Germans in WWII.

		I had my mobile phone camera ready of course and when they feed the pinguins and seals, they do all kinds of trick to get their daily meal.
		To understand how the BUEKORPS came to be, and why they have existed in their present form for almost a century-and-a-half, it is necessary to have a look at the history of Bergen itself: Up to the 1880´s most Norwegian towns, including Bergen, had their own Citizens´ Guards.
		Among them can be found several of the very first ones to be organized, and therefore have about 140 years of uninterrupted history behind them.

		A park that's not for families, but for cars to drive up-and-down.
		Choose a day for wrapping the statue boy up in a bed sheet, tied with a thick rope (for boats) and create an negative Buekorps (modeled on the one below from 1930), a revolutionary, rebel Buekorps that looks like it has been fighting in the mountains all day and defending the factories all night.
		And since the park is for cars, let the boys build barricades in the streets.

		I had not seen a single Norwegian flag or heard as much as a quiet little "hurra" on the 17
		of May. Now suddenly it was there — a brand new experience of colors, of festival, the sound of drums from all the "Buekorps" of Bergen, with the Royal anthem and "Ja, vi elsker" — a continuing shock of joy from early morning to late night.
		A prelude we had on the 8th of May, 1945, when all the church bells of Bergen proclaimed peace and freedom — strange words which did not carry very much meaning to us children.

		There's a cheap-clothing outlet on its ground floor, and an obscure, rarely visited museum (the Buekorps Museum) upstairs.
		From here, walk west along Strandgaten, noting the many shops that line the street on either side.

		Perhaps more importantly, the little tonedeaf brats don't hammer away at their drums at home, or even in the suburbs where they live, but their parents wisely send them to town to gather in packs for maximum damage.
		The tradition is called buekorps, "bow corps" or rather "bow bands" and the bow refers to replicas of crossbows or perhaps more often rifles carried by those of the little rascals who are mercifully deprived of drums.
		They wear military style uniforms, they march sorta military style and they "play" military style "music."

		"Bergen's parade differs somewhat from the parades in most other towns, in that it includes comic troups, various local organization, and the buekorps."
		And buekorps is the worst thing on the planet, basically consisting of 100 of obnoxious kids with drums.
		They are the very reason why those nice asians up there are burning the flag.
