At a show in Salem ,VA I saw the Madison Scouts for the first time this season. They finished last among the Division I corps at the competiton. Scouts didn't even have the last couple of minutes of their show completed. I was greatly surprised.
Five days later I attended the regional event in Atlanta and the Scouts had added the ending. However, their scores were still low and they didn't make the evening finals. At finals some Scouts' members sat behind me and other spectators asked what was happening with the show. The corps members were so very nice and responded positively. They first wanted to know if we had enjoyed their show. They asked, "Did you like us?" Then they explained that they has totally scratched the visual program, it wasn't working, and had put a completely new visual show on the field the past two weeks. The said that they had been, "Practicing like crazy."
The guys seemed upbeat and enjoying the season despite the scores and extra work of putting together a new visual show.
The good attitude and work ethic exhibited the Scouts and all drum corps members is inspiring!
