Thank you so much for this clip, I really enjoyed it. There's a old clip of Madison when they were Boy Scouts watching back and forth I enjoyed that clip very much as well, I believe it was about a 15 minute clip? Former member of the Floyd Bennett golden eagles from Brooklyn New York, 1960 1961 former member of the Long Island Sunrise is 1964 through 1968. Today's date is August 18th 2022. PS Madison is now coed.
@F0RCEGFX Yes, the Cavaliers and Madison Scouts are the only two remaining all male corps. Both can trace their starts to boy scout groups. Madison Scouts are 73 years old and the Cavaliers are 50 yrs. old I believe.
@madison1988 I may be mistaken, but I think that the Scouts also had an African-American drum major the first year (1938), and a few years following. They also had an African-American drum major in 2001 and 2002 (Joel Carter), as well as a Jewish drum major in 2005 and 2006 (Steve Smith).

The Madison Scouts are now co-ed, as of last year, 2021
@alphonsodrovel I believe their first DM in 1938 was the first of several.
Yes, they did. I think back in the 60's or early 70's. I did not make the video, I only posted it. Thanks!

Missed several black drum majors who also were members of this fine organization
Does anyone know what song is being played during in this video
The song is called "The way we were".
Yes you are correct. I missed you but I put in the drum majors from the 40's. It wasn't a race thing when I made this Documentary ,
Robert Pilot MYNWA
Rick Elvord and Steve Blue were both drum majors in the 70s. Both were black. There may have been more.
Did Madison Scouts every have any minority drum majors?
You mean Superman costume.
