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:

The 1960s: About the 1966 Drum Quartet Championship

This production was inspired and produced by Joe Murray, Madison Scouts Alumnus (1972-1976). He interviews a surviving member of that group via Zoom video, Michael "Monk" Madigan, Madison Scouts Alumnus (1963-1970). Four percussion members were sharing the stage and ultimately earned the first-place medal for best quartet: Mike Riccio and Bob Van Etten, Jr. on snare drum, Mike Madigan on tenor drum, and Jack Ledford on bass drum.
