Today's News
AFTERNOON UPDATE: Laundry in very rural Illinois on a Sunday morning proved to be more of a logistical inconvenience than originally anticipated. The corps was just taking the field to rehearse at 5:30 p.m. today, so the schedule has been revised. Meal 3 is now at 8:45 p.m. and Meal 4 is 12:15 a.m. Long day for the corps and the cooks too.


The corps got in on time this morning -- thanks to a great job by the members in getting everything loaded and cleaned for an on-time departure last night from Dubuque despite being behind schedule at the Symphony Pops concert. And the cooks. They had to move Meal 4 inside because of off and on showers. They fed the nuggets, chips, fruit, pie, treats, and milk and got everything back out to the cooktruck and cleaned up for the packing crew in record time. The cooks even got a couple of hours of floor time after they arrive in Varna before they were up again to cook breakfast.

The pops concert had to be moved indoors to the gym at Dubuque Senior yesterday afternoon because of high winds. And it was a good thing because it drizzled rain pretty much all evening. (See above) There was a huge crowd for the concert.

The corps is in Varna today. They are starting off with laundry, which entails a long bus ride from the school, so today's schedule is "loose." Meal 4 is at "11ish" because they finally have a fairly dry field with lights to rehearse so they may go late tonight for the changes they are making to an already fantastic show.
