As most of you know, the drum & bugle corps activity has a rich heritage in Wisconsin, with marching units scattered throughout the State. With thousands of young adults in the activity, dating and serious relationships among drum corps alumni are not uncommon – in many cases leading to marriage. This was the case for Madison residents John Weekes and Cristin McKenna, who were marching members from two different drum and bugle corps. They married in 2006 and are now proud parents of sons Michael and Matthew Weekes. John and Cristin’s union was typical in many ways. However, they shared an especially unique bond – each had tragically lost a close family member to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

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.
