Hello Madison Corps Alumni,

 

Results from the last survey indicated that the majority of alumni found the Ireland parade to be the most desirable venue for a group experience. We're happy to inform you that we've already been accepted to perform in the St. Patrick's Day parade in Ireland in 2028, whether or not we choose to go. We are also reviewing the other options in our survey to prevent the disappointment of the Rose Parade. The second most popular was the Parade in Hawaii; the third was in Hollywood, California; the fourth was in Texas; and the fifth was Veterans' Day in New York. 

 

We are still evaluating participation costs and the best method for members. We'll be sending out a survey soon to gauge how much schedule and financial independence participants are comfortable with, along with rough cost estimates. That will include options for housing, travel, and even tourist-related activities, if there is a strong enough desire for a tour company package.

 

We are looking at a couple of local events to use for our group to develop its performance identity. This potential opportunity would be a chance not only to meet our members and staff, but also to dust off our performance chops.

 

Stay tuned!

Craig, David, & Scott
