2025 Auditions

Welcome to the Madison Scouts audition webpage! We’re thrilled that you’re interested in joining the drum corps. Backed by over 87 years of entertainment history, the Madison Scouts live by the tagline ‘Loud, Proud, and Pleasing the Crowd.’ As we embark on the upcoming season, the corps is actively seeking the best and brightest performers to bring the production to life.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT 2025 AUDITIONS & CAMPS WILL BE RELEASED SOON‍

THE PROCESS

1. Prepare your Video Screening - instructions on what to prepare and deadlines are located in your section's audition packet (purchased at scoutsproshop.com). Videos are typically due on the 1st of each month ahead of a live camp.

2. Submit your Video Screening - our instructors will provide written feedback and your audition status. Those who receive callbacks are expected to attend the next live camp.

3. Attend a Live Camp - earn your position by performing for our instructors in person. By the end of your weekend experience, you will receive an updated status.

PRODUCTION CAMPS

In January, we begin production camps where the primary focus is teaching section fundamentals and developing show material for the upcoming season. Madison Scouts are expected to attend all production camps (see camp details for information on which camps are required for various sections and where they’re hosted). Travel guidance and information is delivered upon registering.

Auditions may occur at production camps to fill any final positions.

PREPARATION

Upon registering for your audition, you’ll be invited to join the corps’ official communication platform where you’ll be able to directly communicate with Madison Scouts staff and veteran members as you prepare for your audition. These personnel are here to support you in your audition process. While drum corps auditions can be intimidating, you’ll quickly find that our staff and veteran members are here to support you in your journey to excellence.
