MCA: Our Future Adventure Together

Hello Madison Corps Alumni members and other interested alumni,

First, we would like to acknowledge that almost all of the registered Rose Parade members who responded to our last email are sticking with us, which makes us excited to move forward with our future event exploration. We have gathered five unique opportunities that we would like to gauge your interest in participating in, starting in 2027, with a first international performance opportunity potentially taking place in Ireland in 2028. The survey is open until December 31, 2025.

Note: We may even do more than one event, so please select all ideas that interest you.

Below are the five ideas for future projects, along with their corresponding links for you to conduct a more in-depth review:

NOLA 24 Survey Results and Beyond

Hello alumni,

First, Scott and I would like to thank all of you who filled out and submitted your information to help us determine the demand for another Mardi Gras parade next year. Though the total number of responses was less than we had received for the past two Mardi Gras, we appreciate everyone's submissions. We have a few new alumni that indicated that they want to do the project. We've also had many veteran project alumni members suggesting that they want a change after two Mardi Gras parades in a row. Considering these points, a different venue should be looked at to satisfy more interest from everyone.

Rose Parade Alumni Performance Registration is Now Open

The Madison Corps Project (MCP) is the first of its kind. We intend to include all Madison-based drum corps organizations: current members of the Madison Scouts and alumni from the Madison Scouts & Junior Scouts, Capitolaires & Petites, Capital Sound, 32nd Hussar, and State Street Review.

This project proposal is for a group participation at the 2026 Rose Parade in Pasadena, California, from Sunday, December 28th, 2025, through Thursday, January 1st, 2026.

Update from Madison Alumni Corps performance future

Hello Madison Corps Alumni,

Results from the last survey indicated that the majority of alumni found the Ireland parade to be the most desirable venue for a group experience. We're happy to inform you that we've already been accepted to perform in the St. Patrick's Day parade in Ireland in 2028, whether or not we choose to go. We are also reviewing the other options in our survey to prevent the disappointment of the Rose Parade. The second most popular was the Parade in Hawaii; the third was in Hollywood, California; the fourth was in Texas; and the fifth was Veterans' Day in New York.

We are still evaluating participation costs and the best method for members. We'll be sending out a survey soon to gauge how much schedule and financial independence participants are comfortable with, along with rough cost estimates. That will include options for housing, travel, and even tourist-related activities, if there is a strong enough desire for a tour company package.

We are also investigating the possibility of a joint performance with the Madison Scouts, starting possibly this year. All alumni, including brass, percussion, color guard, and even conductors, would be eligible to be a part of this unique multi-generational experience. This potential opportunity would be a chance not only to meet current members and staff, but also to dust off our performance chops.

Stay tuned!

Craig, David, & Scott
