DCI and Phi Mu Alpha Team Up

Shortly before Drum and Bugle Corps across America began to move-in for the 2012 season, Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, Fraternity of America, Inc., announced the beginning of a collaborative relationship with Drum Corps International. Phi Mu Alpha is a men's music fraternity, comprising of singers, instrumentalists, music majors and non-music majors. One of it's primary missions to to "Advance music in America," and what a great way to achieve this by joining up with DCI. The collaboration seems to be mostly symbolic at this point, but it is a step in the right direction for both organizations.

I asked brother of PMA how cool it'd be if there was an all-Sinfonian corps.
He said it's called the Madison Scouts.

As an activity, drum corps has always had a small niche in American culture and music, and could stand to have greater exposure, both to the musically inclined and to any interested citizen's in general. There are many Sinfonians (as the brothers of the fraternity style themselves) in multiple different corps, and many of them will go on to be music educators as adults. Anyone involved in either of these organizations should applaud the beginning of this relationship
