| | Yamaha Corporation of America - Madison Scouts and Yamaha: Marching Together Since 1985 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19) |
 | | Since the partnership was forged in 1985, the Madison Scouts have carried Yamaha Percussion exclusively, but that is only the beginning. |
 | | Scott Stewart, a performing member of the corps starting in 1968, was the Scouts’ executive director from 1980 to 2002, and was there when the partnership was founded. |
 | | In 1988, the Scouts took first place at the annual DCI (Drum Corps International) Championships, and then-Yamaha marketing manager Jay Wanamaker was there: “The year they won DCI in Kansas City was a night that I will never forget,” recalls Wanamaker, now executive vice president of Guitar Center. |
