Today's News


Happy Birthday, Nathan Ripley!

The corps arrived in Kansas about 5:30 a.m. There was a downpour, but it let up long enough for most members to get their stuff off the buses in the dry. There was a little bit of rain still this morning and it was overcast. The cooks were hearing that it was going to be "95 degrees and 95 percent humidity."

Thanks for the Gatorade donations. (Hey, you guys really do tune into the Virtual Cooktruck…) Keep them coming!

Got to see the postcards on the practice field yesterday, but they won’t make it into the show yet. There are still things to work out.

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