Madison Scouts 2023


Recommended Posts

The Madison Scouts present their 2023 production titled The Sound Garden. Influenced by the Seattle-based rock band “Soundgarden”, who are themselves named for an aural-based art installation, the show’s intent is to combine an energetic combination of musical styles, sounds, and visual textures to create and cultivate a blooming garden of sound.

Returning for his 23rd season as the Madison Scouts composer and arranger, Scott Boerma, has crafted a creative soundtrack anchored by selections from the rock group Soundgarden, as well as big band repertoire, sourced from both contemporary and classic jazz composers.

The The Sound Garden source material includes:

  • Rusty Cage - Chris Cornell/Soundgarden
  • La Mer - Claude Debussy
  • Hold Music - Jacob Mann
  • Black Hole Sun - Chris Cornell/Soundgarden
  • 23 Degrees North, 82 Degrees West - Bill Russo/Stan Kenton

“We bring to the field a show with a lot of power and energy right from the start of the production,” says Program Coordinator Jason Robb. “Our priority in design was to give our membership a show that can connect with the audience emotionally and provide an opportunity to entertain fans night after night as we make our way through this summer's DCI tour.”

Agreed! I am hoping all shows live up to the intrigues. It's going to be one heck of a season.

Great to see ECJ referenced! Especially such a great year like 98.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I really hope the design takes a major step up this season.  2022 looked to me like a show scoring in the lower 1/3 at a BoA regional.

IMHO, what is needed is what used to be known as 'Madison Swagger'.  The screaming brass, and importantly, the overall confidence - 1980s & 90s Madison owned the field from the second they entered to the second they exited.  The problem is NOT because they went coed - women can be just as confident.

Make Madison Great Again.
