On behalf of the Performers and Staff of the 1975 Drum Corps International Champions, I invite all Madison Scout Alumni, Family, and Friends to join us on Friday, June 27th, 2025, as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of our undefeated gold medal season! This special evening will honor the historic Silver Medal Seasons of the 1974 and 1976 Corps.

The CHAMPIONS REUNION will be held at the Marriott Madison West, where we gathered in 2005 for our 30th Anniversary Celebration. The cost to attend is $100 per person, which includes the Meet & Greet reception featuring appetizers and a cash bar, followed by a plated dinner with non-alcoholic beverages and a dessert bar.

Drum Corps International and Madison Scout Hall of Fame Member, James Elvord, will be our Master of Ceremonies for this very special event. The Meet & Greet reception will be set up for photo opportunities with a CHAMPIONS REUNION backdrop, Championship Trophies, Flags, and Memorabilia. Many Staff Members, Performers, and Special Guests, including all three drum majors (Elvord, Schultz, and Schrack), will share our history and fun stories throughout the evening! We will also be honoring and acknowledging our Performers, Staff, and Volunteers who have passed on, and were a big part of our Championship Era success.

If your schedule allows and you can attend Mad City on June 27th, please join us for this special event!

Sincerely,
Joe Murray
Alumni Association Board Member / Performer 1972-1976
