Hello everyone and happy summer!
If you are interested, there are a few DCI (Drum Corps International) events this summer that students from Middleton would have easy access to. DCI is a marching band on the highest competitive level filled with high school through college students that practice for hours over the summer and compete on an international level throughout the summer. If you have never been to see one of these events/competitions, it is strongly recommended while they're in our backyard. If you're on the fence, here are three recordings of big performances. Carolina Crown E=MC2, Santa Clara Vanguard's Babylon, and Bluecoats' Tilt.
Drums on Parade at Middleton July 1st
This event will be ticketed as normal and takes place in our very own MHS Stadium. The link to the tickets is here.
Whitewater Classic at UW-Whitewater July 8th
If you expressed interest in your initial registration for the marching band, there should be a ticket waiting for you at the event (more information to follow regarding the pickup process). If you did not, but would now like to go, you can purchase tickets here. Additional tickets should be available at the event as well for a higher price.
Additional Show Shirts
Every student gets a free show shirt to wear to competitions, but often families enjoy showing their support by attending competitions and wearing our grayscale shirts! If you'd like to support the program and also have some merch for competitions, please head to the link here on our booster website to place an order. Shirts will arrive by the first week of band camp for students to pick up and bring home!
