The Madison Scouts Drum and Bugle Corps Presents

2009
ROCKIN FOR A CURE 
Alumni Benefit for ALS



The Coliseum Bar
Banquet Room
232 Olin Avenue

Madison, WI 53713

April 18th


All proceeds go to The ALS Therapy Development Institute for Augie's Quest of the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

ALS is Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s Disease)

 

ROCKIN FOR A CURE is the dream of Steve Weekes, who came up with the idea while in the waiting room of
 an ALS clinic with his brother John, and sister, Monica.  Shortly after his diagnosis, 
Steve began work on the project and enlisted the help of long-time friends from 
Wall of Sound and the Madison Scouts Drum and Bugle Corps.

Madison Scouts Alumni Reunion Steve Weekes

Steve Weekes
1961-2005


Steve Weekes was a member (81-83) and instructor (84-88) with the Madison Scouts Drum and Bugle Corps. 

Each year at the ALS Benefit, Madison Scouts Alumni reunite to celebrate the brotherhood of the Scouts and to raise awareness and research funds for ALS. 

The opportunity to join other Madison Scouts Alumni in the singing of Never Walk Alone is an unforgettable moment - not to be missed.

 

 

 


MUSIC:

 

Don Navis Band - Hot Cross Bones

Hot Cross Bones was founded in 1996 in Madison, Wisconsin, as an ensemble dedicated to redefining the boundaries of music arranging, and performing music which features the passion and fire of the trombone. Most of the arrangements played by HCB were written by members of the group, and are specifically designed to highlight the trombone in ways not typically heard in traditional settings. Covering a broad range of musical styles, performing as a brass ensemble or with full rhythm section, Hot Cross Bones strives to present a product which is at times exciting, at times inspiring, and always fun.

Finderz Keeperz

Finderz Keeperz strength lies in their varied set list that has proven quite popular, with a mix of classic oldies, standard party rock, and blues with a sprinkling of a few others just for spice. You won't have to guess the words to any of these songs as you give your feet a work-out on the dance floor. Features Scouts Alum Brian Parker. For more info: www.fkband.com
