Actually, that looks like the St. Paul Scouts. Madison Scouts wore West Point unis.

Dan, I think you are correct, I also thought the same thing before I posted it. I even started to write St. Paul's name, but, two things stopped me. The photo is listed as Madison Explorer Scouts 1968. I knew Madison wore the West Point uniforms but I could not remember exactly when they went back to the scout uniform so I thought maybe the photo was tagged correctly. What also threw me off was that St. Paul's around this time wore white ties and not scarfs but the drum colors and striping do match St. Paul's.

As I recall, the DM's uniforms for this corps were fantastic. You get of sense of them by looking closely at the horse guards.

Gotta ask - did the horses march in parades? in front, or behind the corps?

It's bad enough when some cowboy unit is in front, but to bring your own...sheesh

Anyone know why they were named Wausau Story?

Not sure but I thought they were called Pages of the Wausau Story

Great name

The Illiana Lancers, circa 1967/67 (you probably marched WAY after this)

Please do. It's not that hard and well worth it. All of us would love to see them!

Didn't Squires have a feeder corps called The Pages?

And here is a photo of Pages of Wausau, from 1975
