Before you know it, the 2026 DCI season will be here! It’s shaping up to be a fantastic summer for Madison Scouts alumni to reconnect and support the corps.
We’re ready to announce the MSAA’s schedule for the summer. Let’s take a look at what’s ahead:
July 4 – Cedarburg Parade
New this year! Alumni are invited to join the Madison Scouts in Cedarburg, WI for the annual Fourth of July Parade. March alongside the corps in a high-energy crowd event, very much in the spirit of what we experienced at Mardi Gras!
Following the parade, alumni will gather at Fireman’s Park to rehydrate and cheer on the corps during a standstill performance. Afterward, we’ll return to Cedarburg High School to sing Never Walk Alone together and enjoy the traditional Piggly Wiggly meal.
Registration details will be coming very soon.
July 11th – Whitewater Classic
We’re looking for alumni volunteers to help make this event a success! We need help running concessions and managing the 50/50 raffle. Both of these are big money-makers opportunities for us. Your support behind the scenes could make a HUGE difference for the corps!
If you’re able to help at Whitewater, please email Jeff Manion at
July 17th – San Antonio Regional
Join us as we host a BBQ meal for the corps, Texas style. Alumni are encouraged to attend, connect, and support by sponsoring a brisket. Let’s make sure the Scouts are well-fed and fueled up before they take the field in San Antonio!
July 24th – Drums on Parade
Join fellow alumni at Mansfield Stadium to reconnect with friends and meet new ones. We’ll watch the Madison Scouts finish their pre-show rehearsal, then have a chance to meet and mingle with the corps and sing Never Walk Alone together. The evening will also feature the Madison Scouts Hall of Fame ceremony!
During the show, we are again in need of volunteers for the concession stands and 50/50 raffle. These volunteer roles are crucial to making the show run and help raise money for the Madison Scouts! If you’re able to help, please email me at
August 7th – Indianapolis (Semi-Finals)
We’ll gather before the DCI Semi-Finals in Indy at Tavern on South for a meet-up with alumni, staff, and corps families for a great opportunity to connect across generations of Scouts.
Afterward, we’ll head to Lucas Oil Stadium to watch the Semi-Finals performances. Immediately following the Madison Scouts’ performance, all alumni are invited to the corps parking lot to congratulate the hard working members, sing Never Walk Alone, and welcome the newest age-outs into the Alumni Association.
Whether you’re able to join us at a tailgate, volunteer at concessions stand, support our fundraisers, or pick up some Madison Scouts merch, you’re helping keep the corps moving “Forward!”
We hope to see you this summer! YNWA
