July 25th, Drums On Parade
Featuring: An incredible Tailgate, The Madison Scouts Hall of Fame Ceremony, the Madison Scouts playing show segments and classic hits, a special chance to meet the current members and sign their aussies, and even a silent auction to conduct the Scouts at the show's encore in playing Jesus Christ Superstar.
We’re firing up the grill and pouring some Spotted Cow at Fireman's Park, just a short walk from the stadium. We'll have all the tailgate essentials: brats, burgers, cold beer, and great company. Whether you’re a Madison Scouts alum, friend, family member, or just a fan, you’re welcome to join.
At 5 PM we'll have the Madison Scouts at the tailgate to play classic Scouts hits, show segments, and sing “Never Walk” with alumni and current members. Plus, stick around for a special chance to meet with members of the corps and sign their Aussies. You’ll get to form a bond with the current Scouts and send them off to the rest of the season with good luck in their hats. This is a highlight of the season for many!
At the tailgate we'll also hold the Madison Scouts Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony to honor the individuals who helped shape the corps into what it is today. See here for the list of inductees for 2025.
Finally, at the Tailgate we'll be holding a silent auction to conduct the Madison Scouts in playing Jesus Christ Superstar at the show's encore. We will have a whiteboard set up to tally the silent auction bids. This is a fantastic opportunity to direct the corps during this amazing tune!!
To support the MSAA and the Madison Scouts, we encourage you to purchase the meal pass early, sponsor a keg, or participate in the 50/50 raffle! https://scoutsproshop.com/collections/drums-on-parade
July 31st, Lawrence, MA
The MSAA and the Valley Airs Alumni of Rockdale, MA, will team up to feed the corps in Lawrence! We’re providing all four meals for the day so the members are fueled and ready for Allentown. Feel free to come, help serve some food, and watch rehearsals and the show!
Thank you to the volunteers of the Valley Airs from Rockdale, MA. Also, thank you for the fantastic donation and support in the name of the 2016 Madison Scouts, in the amount of $500, which will cover the breakfast on July 31.
The MSAA is still seeking donations to help offset the cost of the Late lunch we will be serving the corps that afternoon.
Please help us fuel the corps with a donation to the “Feed the Fleur” campaign today! https://scoutsproshop.com/products/feed-the-scouts-copy
August 1st-2nd, Allentown, PA
The MSAA will be hosting a tailgate on Friday, August 1st & 2 Saturday, August 2nd, at J Birney Crumb Stadium. We will be about a 2-minute walk from the stadium entrance, where you can purchase show tickets.
Our tents will be set up just north of the Hamilton Family Diner, located at 2027 N St Elmo St, in front of a white garage on the left, just before the stadium property. We will have an MSAA banner on a white tent. Stop by and say hey! See the following map.

August 8th, Indianapolis, IN
Join us for an alumni lunch gathering at Tavern on South from 1-3 PM on Friday (Semifinals day) to celebrate the end of another great drum corps season! Tavern on South is a short walk away from Lucas Oil Stadium. Tickets for alumni are $20 in advance, which covers food and drinks for the event.
Finally, Friday is also the DCI age-out ceremony. Directly after the Madison Scouts’ Semifinals performance, all alumni are invited to come to the corps parking lot to sing Never Walk and welcome the ageouts with open arms into the Madison Scouts Alumni Association.
Of course, none of these events happen overnight. They require months of planning and often involve a significant amount of money. Please consider helping us offset these costs by sponsoring a keg for a tailgate, providing a meal for the corps, or making a donation to the C.H. Beebe Scholarship Foundation.
