    'What was good enough in July...'

    The Madison Scouts have been working diligently to clean MadiSpin, a show that has received quite favorable responses from audiences across the Tour. We're proud to provide the audience with a program that they respond so strongly to, and are doing everything in our power to maximize its potential as we head into the DCI World Championships in Indianapolis next week.

  • June: The 2026 drum corps season is upon us - Scouts Director Update

    'Spring Training'

    The corps section leadership moved into Madison on May 18th, and spent the week in sessions at the MYArts Center with Mark Waymire (Program Coordinator), Sean Phelan (Staff), and Donnie Ross (Perc. Caption Head). Content was primarily centered around the concepts of excellence, engagement, and accountability. The leadership team also spent time doing community service by cleaning McPike & James Madison Park(s) -- with the underlying messages being -- 'leave it better than you found it' and to see themselves as stewards of something much bigger than themselves.

    The Percussion & Color Guard moved into Greenfield HS (Milwaukee area) on May 22. They rehearsed at Alumnus, Pastor Nathan Pratt's (2010-12) church (Mt. Pleasant Lutheran Church) in Racine on May 25, before making their way to Wayland Academy in Beaver Dam for rehearsal on the 26th.

    The brass moved in on May 27th. At the time of this writing on May 31st we're preparing for our first full ensemble rehearsal of Part 1.
