Instructional excellence is a priority of the Madison Scouts. Our goal is to meet both the on-field performance objectives for the corps as well as providing a top-rate educational experience of our members.
Our instructional staff includes a careful balance of musical and performance arts educators that have experiences from within the Madison Scouts and also from those who bring experiences from other drum corps and organizations.
Members of the Scouts can expect top rate instruction and a show that will be both challenging and exciting to perform.
Throughout your experience as a Madison Scout, you will be asked to challenge yourself in all aspects of personal and ensemble performance. The Scouts team will instruct, coach and lead you through the rigorous process of creating, learning and perfecting a drum corps show.
At the end of the season you will be a better musician, a better marcher, a better guard member...but most importantly you will be a better performer. Through it all, you will have earned the opportunity to thrill audiences throughout the country.
