'Spring Training'

The corps section leadership moved into Madison on May 18th, and spent the week in sessions at the MYArts Center with Mark Waymire (Program Coordinator), Sean Phelan (Staff), and Donnie Ross (Perc. Caption Head). Content was primarily centered around the concepts of excellence, engagement, and accountability. The leadership team also spent time doing community service by cleaning McPike & James Madison Park(s) -- with the underlying messages being -- 'leave it better than you found it' and to see themselves as stewards of something much bigger than themselves.

The Percussion & Color Guard moved into Greenfield HS (Milwaukee area) on May 22. They rehearsed at Alumnus, Pastor Nathan Pratt's (2010-12) church (Mt. Pleasant Lutheran Church) in Racine on May 25, before making their way to Wayland Academy in Beaver Dam for rehearsal on the 26th.

The brass moved in on May 27th. At the time of this writing on May 31st we're preparing for our first full ensemble rehearsal of Part 1.

sam recordsSam RecordsWelcome to June! This month marks the beginning of the Madison Scouts' spring training and the excitement of another DCI season taking shape. June is also Pride Month - a time to celebrate LGBTQ+ history, visibility, and advocacy.

Throughout our history, LGBTQ+ members, staff, volunteers, alumni, and supporters have been woven into the corps' identity. Their talent, leadership, creativity, and dedication have helped define the Madison Scouts culture and legacy. Pride Month is a moment to celebrate our LGBTQ+ community and recognize the countless ways they have shaped the corps into what it is today.

For generations, the Madison Scouts have represented more than excellence on the field. The core values of this organization are rooted in respect, community, and the belief that every person deserves a place where they belong. The Madison Scouts family is built from shared experiences, lifelong friendships, and a commitment to supporting one another both on and off the field.

sam recordsSam RecordsBefore 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.
