Yeah Colts! And a word about scores

Congratulations to the Colts on the first competition in Rockford last night. Way to go Red Team!

For those of you new here, a word about scores. We don't do scores on the Virtual Cooktruck. You can get the best, fastest scores from dci.org or by your Colt calling you from the road. You can find places on the Internet to talk about scores, judging, standings, and unimportant stuff like that. I'm sure you can find a Facebook group that will welcome you with open arms. But we don't do that here. Congratulations, yes. Go get 'em Colts and Colt Cadets, yes. Commenting on scoring, judging, the unfairness of the world, please, no.

We're proud of our Colts. We worry about the things we can do something about: keeping them fed, keeping them safe, keeping them healthy. Everything else will take care of itself.

Go Red Team!
