Our Future Adventure Together
Hello Madison Corps Alumni members and other interested alumni,
First, we would like to acknowledge that almost all of the registered Rose Parade members who responded to our last email are sticking with us, which makes us excited to move forward in our future event exploration process. We have gathered five unique opportunities that we would like to gauge your interest in participating in, starting in 2027, with a first international performance opportunity potentially taking place in Ireland in 2028.
Note: We may even do more than one event, so please select all ideas that interest you.
Below are the five ideas for future projects, along with their corresponding links for you to conduct a more in-depth review:
- St Patrick’s Dublin Parade (Ireland) 1.5 mi (Annually held on March 17th) - https://stpatricksfestival.ie/
- Hollywood Christmastime Parade (CA) 3.3 mi (Evening event annually held the Sunday following Thanksgiving) - http://www.thehollywoodchristmasparade.com/
- Pearl Harbor Parade (HI) 1.2 mi (Evening parade annually held on Dec 7th) - https://www.pearlharborparade.org/home
- Fiesta Flambeau Parade in San Antonio (TX) 3.1 mi (Evening annually in April) - https://www.flambeau.org/
- NYC Veterans Day Parade (NY) 1.2 mi (Annually held on November 11) - https://www.uwvc.org/parade
- None of the above

Yes, we are still planning on participating and are simply awaiting the decision of the Rose Parade committee. We should know the results by the end of the summer. If we are accepted, we will initiate the necessary processes to secure performers. Please keep your eyes and ears open for information towards the end of the summer. Also, remember that event participation is open to alumni from the following drum corps:
*Madison Scouts
*Madison Jr. Scouts
*Capitolaires
*Capitolaire Petites
*Capital Sound
*SouthWind
*State Street Review
*32nd Hussar
If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at:
Note: We currently have 118 paid members for this project. A few former members requested refunds and were honored when we were not accepted for the 2026 parade. Those individuals along with others who didn't register the first time, will need to reapply and make your $100 deposit payment.

Introducing the Madison Corps Alumni Project
The Madison Corps Project (MCP) is the first of its kind. We intend to include all Madison-based drum corps organizations: current members of the Madison Scouts and alumni from the Madison Scouts & Junior Scouts, Capitolaires & Petites, Capital Sound, South Wind (under MDBCA), and State Street Review.
This project proposal is for group participation at the 2027 Rose Parade in Pasadena, California, from Sunday, December 27th, 2026, through Friday, January 1st, 2027.
