New galleries
I have (finally) posted a photo gallery from drill camp in Sterling. But it was worth the wait. There's not one gallery but three! Click on 2006 under the Gallery area in the right sidebar to find them.

It's all about Dana this week...
Certified Cooktruck Tech (and former Colts marching member -- contra and I don't remember the year right now) Beau Meyer sent in this one:
Since it’s all about Dana this week, check out this news story that ran on Madison TV this week: LINK
You can see the interview if you click the video camera icon at the top of the story.
Beau was one of last summer's 'dream team' on tour when we had FOUR former marching members working on the cooktruck at the same time: Jim, Olaf, Pip, and Beau. (I think the most we had was four at once. If I'm remembering wrong, somebody correct me.) Beau said there's a pretty good chance he'll be able to join us again on the road this summer. We'd love to have you, Beau! And thanks for the link!

What a weekend!
Hope everyone got home safely through the storms!
Thanks to everyone who helped cook, sew, clean, register, work on the equipment trailer, carry stuff, photograph and videotape, photocopy (thanks, Tom!), and do all the other stuff that gets done at crazy drill camp. Thanks especially to Lori and her magnificent kitchen crew for cooking so many hot, delicious meals out of an very under-equipped kitchen. And to the Scotts and their flag-sewing crew, and Lauren and Sue and their uniform-fitting crew. And Tom T. and his shako-fitting crew. And the truck guys for new lights, a reconfigured guard 'closet', weatherproofing and other trailer maintenance and improvements. And to everyone else who did all the little things that never get mentioned. (Oh yeah, the rifle-stripping crew and ... heck, I could go on and on and on)
The corps could not do this without all of you!
Thanks too to everyone who has signed up to work this summer. The schedule is looking a lot better, but we can always use YOU for a week or two. Contact Bill at colts.cooks@comcast.net to pick your spot.
Special thanks to the brass and percussion members and the extras (colorguard, friends, and relatives) who showed up to learn drill and all their hard work on getting through the opener and on into Windsprints. You should see it. And you will!
Next camp is Spring Debut in Dubuque on April 28-30. Be there! We'll need your help!
