Today's News

Happy Birthday Deanna M. Deanna's mom Donna handed out freezy-pops at lunch in celebration of Deanna's birthday.

Hot and sunny day. Not a real cloud in the sky or on the horizon. Somebody described it as "toasty."

A GIANT thanks to the band boosters at Saydel High in Des Moines. They brought in and served dinner last night. Homemade desserts, pork sandwiches, chips, yum. They were really excited about the corps being at their school and were wonderful hosts. Thanks to all that helped. Lots of other people have dropped off supplies for the Colts while we're here. Cool. Keep things coming.

Dilan Ross -- Colt in 2003 -- got in early this morning to help on the cooktruck and started right in at breakfast.

Kinda fragmented day for the cooks. The corps was going to Wal*Mart after run-through but a schedule change at lunch moved the trip up to right after dinner and added in a late snack. Lots of great help on the cooktruck is keeping it handled, though. Things are zipping along really well.

As always, check colts.org for the latest official word on tour news, housing sites, mail drops, or other corps information.
