Today's News
It is 95 degrees and sunny in Milton. The same luck was not present during the show last night. DCI.org reports the show as being rained out, and it was, but not before the Colts performed. It began raining and storming during their performance, and they barely finished. The corps stayed at the stadium and the busses were brought to them, to stay as dry as possible. The rain did stop after a while, but thunder was still audible, so the remainder of the competition was cancelled.

Staff was pleased with the Colts performance last night. One tuba player slipped and fell during the show on the wet grass, fortunately without injury to self, others, or horn.

Jack was already looking ahead to Saturday when the corps will be in Orlando – he joked that he wanted Jody to know the cook truck might be empty on that day – why’s that, I asked – “We’re going to Disney World!”

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