    Dear Drum Corps Brass Player Friends,

    It is time to let me know if you will perform the Star Spangled Banner at this year's Drums On Parade show. Since there is the MSARP 20th Reunion on Saturday, the 25th, perhaps you can join us the night before. Thanks to all of you who have participated in the past!

    This year, there are some changes. Here are the details:

    • July 24th
    • Mansfield Stadium (next to Madison Memorial HS)
    • Music will be emailed to you in advance
    • We will rehearse at 6 pm and perform at 6:45 pm
    • Please share with all other drum corps alumni, regardless of corps affiliation
    • We will be using any concert brass instruments (provide your own)
    • Music must be memorized
    • A limited number of complimentary tickets to DOP will be available. First-come, first-served
    • Dress for the weather

    Thank you!

  • Kicking Off The 2026 Legacy Shirts Fundraiser!

    Every year, our favorite MSAA fundraiser is the Legacy Shirts!

    In this fundraiser, we allow alumni to submit designs they’d like to see on the yearly Legacy Shirt. You make the artwork, we choose one submission, and we set it up to be made into THE Legacy Shirt for the 2026 Madison Scouts community! Hundreds of Madison Scouts alumni, fans, family, and members could wear YOUR design.

    You can create entirely new art or reproduce an old shirt! Use professional art tools, or draw it with crayons! Or you can even describe it to us, and we’ll make it for you.

    Additionally... Every shirt sold will not only supply alumni with a great shirt for wardrobe, but help provide the same shirt to every member of the 2026 Madison Scouts! How? Each shirt sold will provide THREE CORPS MEMBERS with a shirt!

    We love giving the corps members a shirt every year. We know they love receiving gifts from the alumni, and they probably also desperately need a clean shirt halfway through the season. Help MSAA continue this appreciated tradition.

    MSARP 20th Anniversary Banquet - details

    A very special event recognizing the 20th anniversary of the Madison Scouts Alumni Reunion Project is set for this summer. Although the celebration focuses on the project's spectacular achievement, it is open to all alumni, family, and friends of the Madison Scouts.

    The event will feature a great meal, special audio/visual presentations, and an opportunity to see old friends and meet new ones.

    The date of this exciting gathering is Saturday evening, July 25, at the DoubleTree Hilton Madison East Hotel ballroom. The cost is $60 per person, and we recommend ordering early, as this event may sell out. For your convenience, we have secured a block of rooms at the site at a reduced rate of $109 for Friday, the 24th, and Saturday, the 25th.

    We are pleased to offer this very special evening of enjoyment and memories, and we look forward to seeing you on July 25.

  • Saturday, April 24! Rockin4ALS - a message from Scott Stewart about ALS

    Scott TalkingScott StewartA message from Scott Stewart ─

    For 25 years, the Rockin4ALS project has increased awareness and provided financial support for patient services and the search for a cure for this terrible disease. Caring members of the Madison Scouts Alumni have been involved since its inception.

    The main fundraiser for this endeavor is a gala featuring a variety of musical acts, a silent auction, raffles, and a great social atmosphere.

  • View from the Chair - May 2026

    Before you know it, the 2026 DCI season will be here! It’s shaping up to be a fantastic summer for Madison Scouts alumni to reconnect and support the corps.

    We’re ready to announce the MSAA’s schedule for the summer. Let’s take a look at what’s ahead:

    July 4 – Cedarburg Parade

    New this year! Alumni are invited to join the Madison Scouts in Cedarburg, WI for the annual Fourth of July Parade. March alongside the corps in a high-energy crowd event, very much in the spirit of what we experienced at Mardi Gras!

    Following the parade, alumni will gather at Fireman’s Park to rehydrate and cheer on the corps during a standstill performance. Afterward, we’ll return to Cedarburg High School to sing Never Walk Alone together and enjoy the traditional Piggly Wiggly meal.

    Registration details will be coming very soon.
