Today's News
Happy Birthday, Kyle L!

Today is Brass 'n' Brats day, so it's a full one. This is the first day we've had that illustrates why we refer to Meal 2, Meal 3, Meal 4. Today, Meal 2 is really the snack. And Meal 4 is really the big meal of the day, which would make it dinner. I'm not sure what that makes Meal 3 at 3:30 in the afternoon. And that's why it's Meal 2, Meal 3, etc. Welcome to Drum Corps!

After all the bad weather, the corps (and cooks) were enjoying an "absolutely gorgeous" day. The sun is shining and the kids are out on the field. Ya-hoo! It's nice and cool in Wisconsin, so that helps too. Last night was pretty too. Carole said there was a great sunset. "The clouds were just beautiful -- if clouds can be beautiful when it's been such a rainy tour so far."

The school has been a delight. The cooks even got to bring chairs outside and "do some of our prep sitting down for a change."

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