The 1960s: About the 1966 Drum Quartet Championship

This video was produced by MSAA in the fall of 2025 for our historical archives.
 

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.

We hope you enjoy the conversation about a highlight during the 1966 season with Michael and Joe.
