Today's News
Happy Birthday Matt W. (aka Darkside)
Roger and Tom drive. Tom apparently hit every bump between Milwaukee and Chicago last night. He knows the territory. They got in about midnight, so there was some down time.
Cooks are cleaning and organizing today while the corps is off marching. And preparing a big turkey dinner.
IT'S A LITTLE KNOWN FACT: According to a notice on the side of the cooktruck today (courtesy of Mike R., I suspect) that, "On this day in 1776, the Declaration of Independence was signed in a hurry so that they could get to a hot fife and drum show that night."
See some of you today along the parade route. Or come out to the school at dinner time.
As always, check colts.org for the latest official word on tour news, housing sites, mail drops, or other corps information.
