Cavaliers have been active since 1948. I'm not sure if any others have been "Active" more than 75+years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Madison Scouts are so old that they forgot they existed prior to 1938. Evidence of their activity in 1920 was just recently brought to light. On the all-age side, the St. Peter Govenaires go back to the late 1920s. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwillis35 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I think the current oldest WC drum corps is Madison Scouts (1938). Not sure if there were any inactive years for Madison but in terms of the year they were founded they would be the oldest now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terri Schehr Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) Another oldie. But long dead. The Norwood Park Drum and Bugle Corps was formed in 1928 by William Widmayer, who was their director and first instructor. The corps was a community-based parade corps, located on the northwest side of Chicago. The corps was one of 14 started by Widmayer at the request of local community Edited April 19 by Terri Schehr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
