Today's News
Happy 16th birthday to Madison M.!!!

The corps watched a video of their performance from Dubuque and really enjoyed it. Very cool to have a chance see what the audience sees!

There are lots of new additions to the Red Pony portion of the show; "it's getting more exciting all the time", David said.

A final (hopefully) prototype for the postcard frames has been completed. The boatload of necessary u-bolts, nuts, brackets, etc. are being purchased. No estimate of on-field time, but soon we hope! Thanks to Alan for all his help with this while on tour!

Many "guest cooks" have showed up to lend a hand - thank you to all!

Yes, you read right above - the Colts are going to be on live TV this afternoon! They will be on during the weather portion of the news. Wish I was there to see it.

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

Okay, maybe it's strange to comment on my own post, but I could not let that picture go. Nioe shirts! I want one too. Good to see you guys. It is true that only the cooks know what happens on the truck, and it's a trip!

The shirts are for sale on our souvie truck - haven't gone looking, but assume you can also order it on-line Rod. Are you going to be at a show soon, maybe you can grab one then. Luba

Thanks, Luba. I was just kidding. Maybe I will pick one up in Indy... then again, I have so many Colts clothing items already :)

I would suggest buying at a show, since buying online still goes through me. It would be easier and faster, plus you'll get to see the show.
