INDIANAPOLIS — DCI.org - Throughout the summer, the annual chase for a spot in the DCI World Championship Finals has been closely contested. All along the way, though, the pack has largely been led by one name — Madison Scouts. After positioning itself in 12th place midway through the season, the Wisconsin corps never relented and rode the momentum of an energetic production to the corps’ first Finals appearance since 2017.

2024 is coming to a close way too fast! We have had an exciting year of events that many Alumni participated in! There are less than two weeks left in this amazing season, and our Scouts have been amazing. Please help support the corps in keeping this amazing momentum going forward! Participation is key in helping us grow our great organization and support our Madison Scouts.

The 2024 Hall of Fame Class has been enshrined into the HOF. Congrats Tom Acheson, Jeanne Beckman, Calvin Harris, Dr Bruce Lages, Jim McCarthy, Michael Turner, and Stan Stitgen. I want to thank the HOF committee members for their hard work and dedication in recognizing these individuals.  Please donate to the CH Beebe campaign. Each donation will be recognized on our booster boards, and you will receive a CH Beebe commemorative challenge coin. This will help a deserving Scout attain their dream of becoming a Scout!!

The top vote winner was the Legacy Tee, Lemon Squeeze. It's on sale now for $60, which also provides a marching member with one. This is a one-time production run.

On June 29 in Middleton, WI, and on July 6 in Whitewater, WI, alumni from the Madison area drum corps performed the National Anthem before each show. Former Capitolaires and Phantom Regiment Drum Major Marcia Hansen conducted at the Middleton Show, and former Scouts Drum Major Craig Mason conducted at the Whitewater Show.
