AmFlag61 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 For years "Over The Rainbow" was THE Closer. And then came "Softly As I Leave You". But I seem to remember Madison closing with "Finlandia" - heart wrenching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conn8dys Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 2001 Madison Scouts- "Ballet in Brass" really, the last two minutes and espcially the last 21 or so measures. Balls to the wall sound! Also think of that year as the "end of an era" for the Scouts. Most of previous staff was gone after that year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
