Today's News

Penny did a great job calling in the cooktruck information this morning. She was so organized that she called me while I was still on the way to work! Please remember to say thanks to the cooks for taking time out of their very busy day to call in so those of us stuck at home will know what's going on every single day with our corps. Thanks cooks for remembering the Virtual Cooktruck.

The front ensemble was traveling to Dubuque today to play for various civic organizations.

The weather this morning in Platteville was pretty nice. It was cloudy early and sprinkled just a tiny bit, but Penny said that only lasted about 30 seconds and then it was partly cloudy with little threat of rain.

Monday's parade in Dubuque was fantastic, topping an equally fantastic weekend. There were a few inconveniences over the weekend, but nobody panicked -- at least not in public, everyone responded in typical Colts fashion and as usual things got done and the corps got on the road.

Updated tour itineraries with details on travel and housing should be posted at colts.org, but I haven't been there yet this morning to check.

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

I agree with David...a fantastic parade and standup concert by our Colts...

I am so excited for all involved..it is going to be a banner year! From watching the drill this weekend and listening to the music...how can it not be?

A special thanks to all the guys(to many to name) that worked to get the cooktruck ready this weekend...we had a few trials and tribulations as David mentioned...but as they say down under...NO WORRIES!

I would also like to thank the cooking crew - who says that men can't cook - you were wonderful!
And a special thanks to Vickie D. and Lori C. - the Colts are so lucky to have these ladies volunteer their time - they are top notch. We also had many people just stop by and volunteer their time...thank you!

And to the sewing crew...working in 90 degree classrooms is no fun..but they still accomplished most all their goals. Hats off to Lauren, Penny, Jody S., Luba, Carol and Marie and any others I may have missed...for their weekend of work!

David S. was busy with his usual duties of photos, web-site updates, helping out wherever necessary. David - what would we do without you?

Please remember to send postcards and letters to your colt member for encouragment these next couple of weeks. They, according to all involved, are the hardest weeks of tour..all work and very few performances...and our COLTS love to perform!

Also..if you are able...cookies, fruit or donations of any kind (even your time)are always appreciated with a smile and thank you at the cooktruck.

Go COLTS......
