Today's News

A bunch of enthusiastic kids came through the breakfast line this morning. They had good floor time.

New flags being sewn through most of the night, mostly by Carol. Postcards are not in the show tonight because of size constraints at the gates. But they will return in Jersey. Mary, Bob, and Damien were instrumental in getting uniforms washed and ready for the show today. Thanks so much.

The kids are working hard and really showing what they have got this week. We should be (and I know we are) really proud of them and their work ethic. What a great bunch of kids!
As always, check colts.org for the latest official word on tour news, housing sites, mail drops, or other corps information.

Hello from Texas,

I finally have a chance to write and say what a terrific group of kids that make up the Colts! It was such a pleasure to be able to cook for them last week while I was on tour. It was one hot week (hotter than Texas I do believe!) and yet at each and every meal there were smiling faces and always a kind word. It makes me so proud of these young ladies and gentlemen! I would also like to say it was great working with all the new people on the cook truck as well as the old pros. Finally, the Colts show was fantastic! Each time I watched it, I got chills! They were doing a fantastic job then, I can only imagine what the show is like now! I wish I could be at the finals, but the real world calls. Thanks again Colts for a wonderful week and cotinued success during finals week!
