Today's News
David said they passed a bank yesterday afternoon on the way to store, and the temperature showed 100 degrees; it warms quickly and there have been many 100+ days in a row. He said "it's dry and feels like you're being baked".

David also noted that this section of tour feels like "the longest time in one state; we've been in Texas for almost a week!".

The local band kids served lunch yesterday and will again today. The people there have just been wonderful; a very friendly place. A nice small town with that small town hospitality.


John and Suzie drive.

They were hanging around the hornline during warmup a lot that night (all the close ups of the foot technique are us - get it!), and the Colts are a significant portion of the clip - during vis and brass warmup and some parts of the show musically and visually are used.

Get some Red Team!!!
