Help!
We still need LOTS of volunteer help for summer tour.
If you haven't got your summer completely planned already (How hard can that be? Just look at the tour schedule and you'll see where you need to be every weekend....), at least get in touch with Bill and get your tentative dates on the calendar. There's a link to his email in the right sidebar.
If you've already signed up for a week in the kitchen truck, thank you so much. It really helps to get the plan together early. Now, when is your second week on tour going to be? Everybody can share an extra day or two. :)
If you are a parent and you haven't signed up yet, let me share a little secret. You'll really be missing something special with your Colt if you don't spend some time on tour with him or her this summer. It is a special time for your Colt, and the dirty little secret only the volunteers know (well, one of the dirty little secrets only the volunteers know...come on tour to hear some of the others) is that it means as much or more to you as it does to your kid. It is really a "life peak" for many of the volunteers who go along with the Colts for a week or two during the summer. And it makes the incredible "life peak" your Colt will experience this summer that much higher when you're there to share it with them. (Come on parents and volunteers. Here's your opening to share your own incredible summer moments with the corps and what it's meant to you. Post a comment.)
Not a parent? We've had aunts, uncles, grandmas, grandpas, friends, and former Colts join us for at least a week during the summer. If you love the Colts and have reached the age where you're too old to march, you're welcome.
Get in touch with Bill. Get on the truck. Let's have fun.

I'm not shy!! I'll be the first post! Parents, I cannot tell you what an incredible opportunity you have in waiting in front of you to volunteer with the Colts this summer. My daughter was a rook-out last summer and both her experience AND mine were life changing. I had so much fun and made so many friends that I'm returning this summer to volunteer for a week as an alumni parent.
I'm not know for my cooking skills so it was a BIG stretch for me to help out in the kitchen. You don't have to be a gourmet cook to participate - trust me (feel free to ask my husband and kids!!) If you can follow directions, keep most of the food in the bowl while mixing, enjoy being flexible and having a great sense of humor - you'll fit right in!!
Benefits - making new friends, learning new recipes, seeing exotic locations (I'd never been to River Falls or Sioux Falls before) and having the most rewarding time of your life.
Downfalls - having to say good-bye and returning to reality.
Bill needs you, the Cooktruck needs you, and most of all, the members of the Colts need you.
Until June...
