Star Spangled Banner Performers

Craig Mason

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 free tickets to DOP will be available. First-come, first-served
• Dress for the weather

Thank you!

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. 
~ Scott, Scott, & Randy
