Today's News
Happy Birthday, Matt H!

Jody G is leaving today after a fantastic run across the deep south as head cook. Thanks, Jody! And thanks too to Jack W, leaving today after a week as head cook and a second week (with no break in between) on the truck as a cook. Thanks Jack!

I know most of you are as bummed as I was yesterday about our Colts not getting to march the night show in San Antonio. But the Colts have moved on -- working until 12:30 this morning to clean, clean, clean the show -- and we will too. If you haven't already, you MUST go to colts.org and read Greg's latest post. Go Red Team!

Dale called the report in from the cooktruck this morning and he was as upbeat as the corps: "The kids have all maintained a serious, yet upbeat attitude. They got back last night and had a very good rehearsal until 12:30. We served them a meal at 12:30 and then all went to bed after a long day. It's hot and sunny and a little more humid today. A good day for a free day."

As I should have said yesterday, if I hadn't waited to look at scores, was that Natalia, Texas, once again rolled out the red carpet for the Colts. As a comment said the other day, Mayor Ruby Vera arrainged for a brisket BBQ for the corps, in air conditioning -- and the local band severed at the sit-at-a-table dinner. The corps then put on a performance for townspeople and got a standing ovation. It would be great if all of you could send a thank you card to the mayor of Natalia, which has pretty much become the Colts' home in Texas. Here's the address: Honorable Ruby Vera, P.O. Box 270, Natalia, Texas 78059


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