There's going to be a movie made about the Madison Scouts! It's called "Scouts Honor: Inside a Marching Brotherhood" and we are currently running a campaign on IndieGoGo. Please help us by contributing and spreading the word!
Unfortunately, youtube won't allow for links to be posted, but Google is your friend
to YesRush... Playing with these guys was the highlight of my musical life. We had very few rehearsals, maybe 45 hrs. of actual practice time and all but a very few minutes devoted to learning the drill. Except for the first camp we did not have a dedicated music rehearsal.... everyone could play!
@silfner1 I was part of that soprano line and I agree with you -- probably the best in DCI -- but ever... no. Think Marine Corps, etc... What's interesting however is we played to an absurdly high range with the 3rds over high C and the leads to D above double C -- all on horns that were almost playable... My instrument's valve line wobbled back and forth and the first valve stuck often. If tuned for C, E would be all over the board and G different still. One had to listen very carefully!
I remember them rehearsing at our housing and rehearsal sight and the same thing was said by every member of our corp then, "The Death Star of Hornlines".
my Dad did this (when he was 61) and next year my old Marching band is having a reunion band it wont be nearly as close to as exhilirating as this....but here's hoping it's close!!!
I competed against the Scouts back in the early 70's when I played soprano with the Cascades....they were always our toughest competition back then, and they always had the BEST soprano line at DCI. I'm not sure how old some of these guys are in this alumni corps (I'm sure hope there aren't many 50 yr old sopranos) but it matters not...the Scouts still know how to belt Kenton's most famous chart, and although it has been played by many others, Malaguena will always belong to the Scouts.
@YesRushELP : My brother was a soprano in the early 70's and was playing in the Reunion Corps - along with his son. :-) So fantastic to see them kill Malaguena again.
@mks5958 OK, now you are scaring me, I cannot even begin to play the way I did almost 40 years ago. Massive props to your brother for still having the chops to pull off Malaguena at our age. (I/m 54, and apparently your brother and I competed against each other, so I am duly impressed). Cheers!!

When one must resort to name calling I write them off as insignificant and lacking in sufficient intellect to carry on a civil discourse. Disagree with me all you want but keep the conversation out of the gutter. If I was having a bit of fun at your expense it might have been well deserved. And If you recall, I did give you the benefit of doubt... I'm afraid your ego is too tied to being "right" than having an open dialogue. Interestingly your response to the show is in quite a minority.
Fantastic!!!! Of course Hopkins and today's DCI board would say that you need guitars, woodwinds, singers, amplifiers, and hula hoops! And I say, turn the clock back on the equipment of today's Corps. Let's not lose Drum & BUGLE Corps!!!! Great job Madison!!!
For those criticising our sound, consider a couple points. First, this recording is
from someone's cell phone and sounds very crass and tinny...not anywhere close
to how we actually sounded (check out the DVD recording)...second, we had about 6 months to prepare for this show with only about 55 hours of total rehearsal time...and on top of that, most of us had not played in many years. By the way, we had a total of 111 brass. It was 112, but a Mello player left
@spiff8082ms i agree, madison had one of the best sounding horn lines back in the day. you just had to be there live. judges did hate on em tho for not having enough bottom end.
For the record we were not playing above our abilities, far from it. I do not know how you can make such an evaluation from this video? Perhaps you have some special capabilities the rest of us do not... Do yourself a favor and listen to the DVD. Some of the fast 16th note runs are played in unison with more than 80 musicians -- there are no mistakes.... Some think it necessary to be negative regardless of circumstance -- shows a real lack of sophistication...
@tcarmen63 I merely stated what I saw. I have an appreciation for the music and the band and have a sharp eye and ear. It helps to be objective instead of defensive as you are. It is what it is.
For the record, and it helps to know what one is watching, the 2006 MSARP was not a band... but a Drum Corps. May well have been a slip on your part or, you do not know the difference. Not being defensive -- just accurate...
@tcarmen63 I know what a drum corp is. I was just making a generalization, but if you want o be a douche monkey about it... Band –noun
1. a company of persons or, sometimes, joined, acting, or functioning together2.
Music .
a. a group of instrumentalists playing music of a specialized type. a musical group, usually employing brass and percussion instruments, that plays especially for marching or open-air performances.
ehhh. not the same as 1988. i know they are older now and probably have not played in awhile but you would think it would be slightly better. but any who it was still good
For the record: I played sop in the video and it WAS like playing with 120 professional musicians. Except for our first camp we did not have a dedicated music rehearsal... The primary focus was to maintain a centered tone and not over blow. Except for a few we never played more than 85%! During the show leads played to D above double C with an occasional F -- lost in the volume and overtones. Last show note was a high D. Malaguena was first played in 63! Best experience in my life!!
tcarmen63 Correction: there were either 111 or 113 brass players... not 120. I was including staff and drum majors. Shawn Owens had a solo that went to F above double C but it was cut for something easier.... If you can get a recording of one of the early camps you can hear it -- very impressive...!
Deleted comment, whatevs. These guys sound amazing. Would give an arm to play this song with a group of musicians this good. Just wish I could crank my volume at the end of the song without my roommate saying: "Quit laughing like a retard in there!"
@samrshelley It's laughing at at amazing dude, no one does that type of screamin' in DCI anymore. It's "oh my god, those old dudes just made me crap my pants" laughing.
um.. Tim Snyder contected me on facebook asking me to come check them out because they need low brass. Sooooo, if i come look at this, will anyone wanna tell me what time? and how this will affect school and marching band?
i really want to join the scouts (or phantom regiment providing i get in to either of them) and want to attend UW madison as well. How will my school life/schedule affect DCI and vice versa?
Dude, you must of been sitting 2-3 seats away from me. I was right on the 50 and I have some pics that were parallel with the podium! I think I hear myself losing my mind at the end though...
I am substituting lead for my jazz band on trumpet but there IS NO WAY i could pull that stuff (I'm a hardcore phantom/carolina/blue stars fan as well as audtioning for the stars this year)
BUT THIS IS THE SICKEST LATIN JAZZ I'VE EVER HEARD FROM ANY CORPS EVER!!! GREAT JOB!!!!
Well thanks for the compliment, but we're not competing with other Alumni Corps - the point is to go out and enjoy blowing down the house as I'm sure the Cavaliers had as much fun doing! I think it would be great sometime for a bunch of different alumni corps get together and just jam out for each other!
WHAT!?!?! I was at semifinals, and the Cavaliers 2008 alumni was the most awesome and fun group I had heard all day. They had the entire crowd (myself included of course) on their feet jumping around. It was awesome!!!!!
Who gives a shit? You know how many assholes like you compare the two corps jsut because they are all male? Get a live already, I love the Scouts because they are entertaining. Cavies mostly are dickheads that are out to win and need to zip up their pussies.
yeah, someone tried to get me to go out to cavies but he gave me that impression, just out to win it all. they're gonna have to do something better than that show they pulled this year to get me out there, not fun at all.
Well, Cavaliers, 27th Lancers, SCV, Blue Devils, Bridgemen and of course Scouts alumni were not in it for the competition. It was just great to reconnect, to do drum corps again... to have a great time and to get that "feeling" again.
Nothing but respect for ALL alumni corps. The time and dedication needed to do something like that at that point in their lives is very demanding.
I remember being in the stands as the began this song I turn to a freind sn said uh oh this is going to be freaking loud. Someone turned to me and said why do you say that. Then they blew our faces off. See! i told them
The various parts came from different sources, but the members all paid for their uniforms and got to keep them when it was all done. I still have mine!
Nope, G all the way, baby! Nothing lets you play as loud as the good ol' G bugle. Thanks to the Troopers, Kilties, and other corps that let us borrow their old horns!
oh for the love of drum corps. Keep right on going. Ya got to have it in your blood or ya just dont get it. I try and explain it to my friends but they dont get it. They have never been into drumcorps. I have 1 friend who march boston crusaders back in the late sixtys and he understands. Its been a love affair with the scouts since i first saw them in 1961 or 2. Had them here in port clinton as our guests and they did a show. I know Gary Mahnke was the drum major at the time.
Have been bitten by the bug for over 25 years...my bro was a soloist with the 27th Lancers, and both he and my ex marched with the Matadors Senior Drum Corps...Madison has always been my personal favorite!!!
Oh for thelove of drum corps. Its got to be in your blood or ya just dont understand. I try to explain to my friends who have never seen a drum corps preform and its sop hard to get them to understand that they do go on to the older corps when they age out. We aged out at 18 and no older corps was around. Madison still has it young or old. Just love them. saw them in 1961 and its been a love affair since lol lol. Go scouts. Marti
And you forgot to mention the age range!!! Didn't you have someone in their 80s on the field? (that comes from having a corps founded in 1938).
The BD/SCV alum corps in 07 was the same way...you had to have marched one of the BD or SCV units to be eligible...and I checked every one of the applicants for the BD side...if they weren't on the alum roster, they weren't in.
Yes we had Richard Goldberg who was 80 years old and an original member from the 1938 Corps! He was in the Honor Guard. We also had a guy in his 70s - William Gandt - who was in the Frontline. I think our average age was around 42. We had members from every decade of our history, but most of us marched in the 80s. It was a great time and I would do it again in a heartbeat! I hope we put something together for our 75th anniversary in 2013.
Trumpets. Im trying to get my teacher to do this for our field show next year. This year we did music from 007 Casino Royale. The only real fun part was the closer, the High F main theme thing.

Who was the DM for this one? Was it Mark?
Rangermed 3 years ago
The DM for Malaguena was Craig Mason.
And he still had that charisma he had back in 84/85!
What a night that was. I would do it again
in a heartbeat! I hope we put another
Alumni Corps together for our 75th Anniversary
in 2013.

Where the bloody hell did they get all the uniforms from?
LegendofJ 3 years ago
The various parts came from different sources, but the members all paid for their uniforms and got to keep them when it was all done. I still have mine!

Nope, G all the way, baby! Nothing lets you play as loud as the good ol' G bugle. Thanks to the Troopers, Kilties, and other corps that let us borrow their old horns!

oh for the love of drum corps. Keep right on going. Ya got to have it in your blood or ya just dont get it. I try and explain it to my friends but they dont get it. They have never been into drumcorps. I have 1 friend who march boston crusaders back in the late sixtys and he understands. Its been a love affair with the scouts since i first saw them in 1961 or 2. Had them here in port clinton as our guests and they did a show. I know Gary Mahnke was the drum major at the time.

Have been bitten by the bug for over 25 years...my bro was a soloist with the 27th Lancers, and both he and my ex marched with the Matadors Senior Drum Corps...Madison has always been my personal favorite!!!

Oh for thelove of drum corps. Its got to be in your blood or ya just dont understand. I try to explain to my friends who have never seen a drum corps preform and its sop hard to get them to understand that they do go on to the older corps when they age out. We aged out at 18 and no older corps was around. Madison still has it young or old. Just love them. saw them in 1961 and its been a love affair since lol lol. Go scouts. Marti

It's Alumni because all of us who performed in this show are alumni of the Madison Scouts Drum and Bugle Corps. Hence the name:
The Madison Scouts Alumni Reunion Project.

And you forgot to mention the age range!!! Didn't you have someone in their 80s on the field? (that comes from having a corps founded in 1938).
The BD/SCV alum corps in 07 was the same way...you had to have marched one of the BD or SCV units to be eligible...and I checked every one of the applicants for the BD side...if they weren't on the alum roster, they weren't in.
homfencing 4 years ago
Yes we had Richard Goldberg who was 80 years old and an original member from the 1938 Corps! He was in the Honor Guard. We also had a guy in his 70s - William Gandt - who was in the Frontline. I think our average age was around 42. We had members from every decade of our history, but most of us marched in the 80s. It was a great time and I would do it again in a heartbeat! I hope we put something together for our 75th anniversary in 2013.

Trumpets. Im trying to get my teacher to do this for our field show next year. This year we did music from 007 Casino Royale. The only real fun part was the closer, the High F main theme thing.
