Report from Carl Junction, Missouri

Another update from Bill Symoniak, this time from Carl Junction, Missouri. Keep 'em coming, Bill.

The corps arrived about 4 a.m. and members got their stuff unloaded and stored away before more rain hit. Harrison Rowland (contra player last year who is out this year with a broken ankle suffered while playing softball) was there to greet the corps and help them get settled in. Thanks, Harrison.

Corps woke at 8:15. Cals and breakfast inside the school because of the rain.

Cookies (Bill said all of Linn, Missouri, showed up with cookies yesterday. "They just kept coming," he said.)

Both Jim and Marlin Rowland joined today as cooks, solving the severe cook shortage of yesterday. Harrison was doing good enough with his recovery that both could travel with the Colts.

Band parents and supporters of the Carl Junction high school band were providing dinner tonight, giving the cooks a break.
Hamburgers
Baked Beans
Potato Salad
and of course
Cookies................

Overheard on tour
The hornline made a big jump yesterday. "A good practice. Really good progress."
(And no, I can't reveal my source)

Personal note: I got to see Phantom Regiment rehearse at our high school last night. But it just wasn't the same as seeing the Colts.
