Mobile, AL United States
Founded: 1980
From their Montgomery base, Southwind took part in DCI competition in 1981 and 1982 before going inactive for seven years. In 1989, with newly organized backing, the corps began to compete in Class A, A-60, and Division II/III contests, divisions they won in 1991 and 1992. Since moving to Open Class in 1993, their highest finish has been 13th, in 2000.
By 1997, though financially secure and still attracting a sizable membership, it was becoming difficult for the small nucleus of boosters and management to keep the corps operating effectively. That same year, several members of the Madison Scouts' design team wrote for and advised Southwind, thus starting an important relationship between the corps. In the fall of 1997, Southwind Director Dave Bryan, who has been a part of Southwind from the beginning, approached Madison's Scott Stewart about taking over management and direction of the corps. The newly formed liaison made Southwind a part of the Madison Drum & Bugle Corps Association.
Southwind sat out the 1998 season and moved their base of operations to Lexington, Kentucky. The move north allowed Southwind to participate in DCI Midwest, to be closer to their parent organization in Wisconsin, and to draw on strong music programs in the surrounding states.
The corps finished 18th in 2002 and 21st in 2003.
Souhwind received a stern lesson in the financial realities of drum corps in July of 2004 when a bus, essential to keeping the corps on the road, blew an engine. The $15,000 replacement cost could have been enough to bankrupt the corps and end its life. Despite the mishap, the corps regained three places by finishing 18th in DCI Quarterfinals, playing Jerry Goldsmith's music to "The Mummy."
