Madison Scouts march in Macy’s Parade with 426 members
The Madison Scouts will march in Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade today. The corps has hundreds of members from all over the world, also from Europe.
The 426 members of the Madison Scouts - Corps of Brothers, aged 15-75, met in person for the first time Tuesday afternoon at Rockland Community College, approximately 35 miles north of Manhattan, where the corps will step off before millions for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Check-in began at noon, where alumni and current members—many wearing their dark green corps jackets—hugged and cracked jokes. There had been one rehearsal in June at the Drums on Parade show in Middleton - Wisconsin, but most would be playing and spinning with the group for the very first time.
Since it was announced last year, Madison Scouts all over the world have been preparing. The internet played a big part connecting more than 400 members to each other and the music. When the Madison Scouts Drum & Bugle Corps marches for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, it will be their largest audience in their history.
