Today's News

(The cooktruck posting is late today because Rod, Bill, and I ended up with the corps on the same day. It was great. Maybe we need to expand the crew.)

Happy Birthday Ryan D.

Roger and Tom T. drive.

Navy Pier was a cook deal. The Colts got applause from the crowd just for warming up in horn arc. The kids went nuts for our drumline. The crowd (well, at least one person in the crowd) started shouting for a Colts encore of 'Freebird' as soon as they finished playing through the show. And I wasn't disappointed. (That's my boys in the bari ensemble up front.)


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