The Madison Scouts, Forward Performing Arts, and the Madison Scouts Alumni Association are pleased to announce the newly established Madison Scouts Hall of Fame, the highest achievement recognition and honor to individuals who have participated in the Madison Scouts organization throughout its long history. “We are thrilled to have finally established a Madison Scouts Hall of Fame to recognize, honor, and celebrate those who have given so much to the organization,” said Executive Director Chris Komnick. “Our inaugural class sets the standard of service and leadership and represents the true character of the corps.” This year’s inaugural inductees include C.H. Beebe, Bill Howard, and Scott Stewart.
All three inductees are also members of the prestigious Drum Corps International Hall of Fame.
“The Madison Scouts Alumni Association is excited to play a key role in establishing and administering the Madison Scouts Hall of Fame,” stated Kent Eversmeyer, committee chairman. “The hall will serve as the vehicle to honor great Madison Scouts and help assure their legacy is preserved and carried forward by creating opportunities for future Scouts to participate.” The Madison Scouts Hall of Fame recognition award recreates a sculpture called “The Ideal Scout,” awarded to C.H. Beebe in the 1950s. The Ideal Scout sculpture is also depicted in the hall logo.
The Madison Scouts Alumni Association (MSAA) will administer the Hall of Fame through an annual process, with a new class inducted each year. More information can be found on the Madison Scouts Hall of Fame page.
