We want you!

Being part of the marching arts community often means dedicating countless hours to perfecting performances and supporting fellow members. However, many of us have felt the challenges when the culture around marching arts doesn’t fully support or uplift its participants. Organizations like MAASIN provide a crucial space to change that dynamic by promoting equity and peer support within this passionate community. Volunteering with MAASIN not only allows you to contribute directly to meaningful initiatives like communications, funding, and research but also connects you with others who share your commitment to transforming the marching arts experience. Whether you have leadership skills or are just eager to help, your passion can help build a healthier, more inclusive environment for everyone involved. From my own experience attending marching band events and drum corps competitions, I’ve seen firsthand how the right support system can make a huge difference. Groups like MAASIN that prioritize peer support and community feedback create stronger bonds and safer spaces for performers, staff, and volunteers alike. Encourage your friends or colleagues in the marching arts world to consider joining—this is a unique opportunity to influence positive change from within. If you’re interested in joining, remember to apply before the May 24, 2026 deadline via the official MAASIN website (https://www.maasin.net/join). Sharing this opportunity with someone passionate about marching arts is one way to help expand such an important initiative. Together, we can make sure the culture of marching arts truly supports the people at its heart.
