Today's News
Thanks to Peg L who just completed a fantastic week as head cook. We’ll miss the ChiPEGlis

To D99: Rodoo is alive and well with us

The corps had a great show in Normal last night and a good trip back to Dubuque for the Symphony Pops concert tonight

The brass and pit set up just outside the cooktruck this afternoon and were tuning up the ballad, much to the delight of the cooks

There were lots of helping hands in Dubuque today and that meant re-arranging and straightening the equipment truck and loading/organizing the new souvie truck. The new souvie truck was getting Colts decals today too. So it was a busy day. Just like always on tour

There were off and on sprinkles and raindrops but nothing by time for Meal 2 to disrupt rehearsals

Mike and Lauren R showed up Saturday to give the uniforms a much needed washing. Penny D and Patty T helped with that monumental task

They look at you funny at Wal-Mart when you buy 48 dozen eggs at once. They sell you the eggs, but they look at you funny

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

We were able to make it to the Normal show Friday night. The Colts have put together a very entertaining show that had the sold-out audience excited and involved with the performance. Beautiful guard - uniforms and flags - and beautiful melodies. The cooks showed evidence of having worked hard but still having quite a bit of fun in the process. It was great to see everyone. I wish I didn't have to wait almost a month to join tour!

I've posted photos of the show, so check them out.
