After a committee meeting reviewing all the numbers, the decision is official. Dublin, Ireland, will host our St. Patrick's Day performance in 2028.

It's not too late to sign-up.

I feel more connected to the Madison Scouts today than I've ever been, even when I was an active marching member, and it’s because of the Alumni Association.
Madison Scouts Alumni,
Reflecting on Summer 2026: Another season of drum corps is complete, and we're already deep in the weeds preparing for 2027. If you didn't get a chance to see the corps this Summer, we have the link near the end of this article.
Speaking for the corps administration and staff, we're incredibly proud of the Membership's performance and the response they elicited from audiences around the country. It's safe to say that MadiSpin is a show Madison Scouts fans will treasure for years to come.
