As the DCI season draws to a close at the end of this week and the Madison Scouts are winding up an exceptional summer of competition, it seems fitting to give an update on our Sousaphone player and 2023-2024 Drum Major Aiden Dye.
Stepping into the unknown, walking on faith and driven by a determination to do better, Aiden has left a large footprint in Madison, Wisconsin and a lasting impression with the Madison Scouts.
After more than 20 performances, thousands of miles traveled and weeks away from home, Aiden will wrap up his DCI season in Indianapolis, Indiana this weekend as the Scouts will perform at the DCI World Championship.
As with anything he sets out to do, Aiden continues to approach every challenge with an "All-In" mindset. As such, Aiden was awarded Most Improved by the Madison Scouts leadership this weekend. A very impressive accomplishment, ESPECIALLY for a rookie. Aiden has truly raised the bar in Madison.
Aiden, your community is proud, your family is proud, your school and band family are all proud of you, for your efforts, for being an excellent ambassador, and for chasing your dream! We look forward to having you back. Congratulations!
