Our Scouts had an excellent 2024, breaking back into the Top 12 at finals after having a great run throughout the year. The 2025 Madison Scouts season will be opening in a few short weeks. This coming 2025 year and season are shaping up to be exciting! We aim to engage many more alumni to support our Scouts and bring the alumni community together socially, reviving old friendships and forming new ones. Please help support the corps and keep this incredible momentum going in the future! Participation is key in helping us grow.

The following content is some of the projects ahead for 2025. As always, we would love for our Alumni base to be part of these activities. We welcome you and look forward to seeing you.

The Madison Scouts Hall of Fame Class of 2025: This year's class for the MSHOF has been announced and will be honored at Drums on Parade Tailgate! I want to thank the HOF committee members for their hard work and dedication in recognizing these individuals.

We Need Your Help to Help Bring MSAA Chapters to Life!

One of the most exciting projects we're working on at MSAA is building local Chapters—and we need your help to make it happen!

There’s a good chance you’ve got a handful of Madison Scouts alumni living just down the road—and you might not even know it. Chapters are a way for alumni to find each other, reconnect, and share the camaraderie that made our time in the Scouts so special.

Hi Everybody,

As some of you may know, Randy Ferrie is taking some time away from his duties as Chair of the MSAA to recover from surgery. Please keep Randy in your thoughts during this time as we all hope for a speedy recovery!

Time “marches” on, and we’re deep into the planning for this year’s drum corps season! 

The MSAA is putting on many events this year. Be sure to mark your calendar and check in for all of the details! 

• July 5th: Whitewater Classic tailgate
• July 19th: Meal for the corps at San Antonio
• July 25th: Drums on Parade tailgate & Hall of Fame
• July 31st: Meals for the corps at Lawrence MA
• August 2nd: Allentown meetup
• August 8th: Indianapolis meetup before Semis

And…WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!

Each month, we shine a light on one of our alums in the MSAA Alumni Spotlight to celebrate the incredible individuals who have marched with the Madison Scouts over the years.

Through the story of our monthly spotlighted alum, we’ll learn who they were during their time with the Scouts, who they’ve become today, and the profound impact the Madison Scouts had on their lives. From life-changing lessons learned on the field to lifelong friendships and career-defining moments, the Alumni Spotlight is your chance to see how the Madison Scouts experience resonates far beyond the drum corps season.

Our next alum to enter the Spotlight: Mike Robinson
