The Madison Scouts Alumni Corps will again be marching in the Krewe of Orpheus Mardi Gras Parade in New Orleans on Monday, February 24th at 6 p.m. (CT). The corps, consisting of 125 alumni members of the Madison Scouts, will be performing “South Rampart Street Parade”, “Bill Bailey”, "Won't you Please Come Home", “When the Saints Go Marching In”, “Little Liza Jane”, and "Joe Avery Blues".Preparations get finalized this upcoming weekend when the performers converge on New Orleans for two days of rehearsal at Cabrini High School. Planning for the parade began shortly after the 2018 appearance with Scott Stewart and Scott Pearson leading the charge. Both played key roles in organizing the 2006 Alumni Reunion Project and the 2018 Mardi Gras Parade.

Founded in 1993, the Krewe of Orpheus takes its name from the musically-inclined son of Zeus and Calliope. Founding members include Harry Connick Jr. and Harry Connick Sr.. The grand marshal for this year’s parade is actor, director, producer, Bryan Cranston, best known for his role as Walter White on the AMC series "Breaking Bad", Hal on the Fox sitcom "Malcom in the Middle", and Dr. Tim Whatley on the NBC sitcom "Seinfeld".
