When I marched back in the sixties, the Madison Scouts (Why can't anyone here use a corps full name?) were one of our most "hated" rivals. Their unfortunate use of the "West Point" uni's was a point of constant ridicule. However, we had tremendous respect for their hornline back then. and their 77 "West Side Story" show is still one of my favorite recordings.
Even if their "style" the last decade has not been entirley to my tastes, they are a class orginization and I feel they will rise back into contention for top honors.
