Today's News

This morning, Lauren sends 'greetings from the cook team. We'll see you all in Dubuque real soon!'

It's a bit windy and cool this morning, but if it turns off hot, the Corps is going to get a treat of iced-down bottles of Gatorade. A woman who watched them rehearse and wanted to help brought 4 cases of bottled Gatorade and Patty T. bought 2 more to have enough for each corps member to have one. Thanks!

Penny D. brought what Lauren described as 'bazillions of cookies' from Jeff's 'church grammas and moms' Penny's church group has become famous for their corps cookies.

Jeannie and John S. drove over yesterday to hand deliver a new flag for the show. As long as they were coming they brought a case of steak sauce, a case of BBQ sauce, a case of pickles, a case of spaghetti sauce, (you get the idea.) Thanks a bunch. That's their second round this year.





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