Today's News
Happy birthday, Patrick M!

Lots of help in yesterday. Two members of the local band boosters -- Amy and Maryglen -- helped out most of the day. And the band boosters collected money at last night's dog and pony show and donated it to the fuel fund for the corps. Thanks!

Despite the iffy weather last night, a good local crowd turned out for the dog and pony.

Le Ann also was in to help yesterday. She put away most of the dry goods and paper stuff from the food drop. The cooktruck is full up again.

Yesterday's menu changed some. Instead of chicken fried steak, the cooks served up Barry's Baked Chicken Dinner with mashed potatoes and gravy and all the fixins.

The cooks are doing well, as are the members. The corps is working out today in a beautiful stadium that has artificial turf. The cooks don't have a good view of the proceedings unless they look out the back door. The trailer is facing the opposite direction. :(



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

Well it has been a couple of days since I came off tour and I think I have recovered some of the lost sleep.
After spending 10 days in the heat of the south it was a nice surprise to only have 85 degree temps here in Iowa.

I want to say a BIG THANK YOU to all who donated fruit , gatorade and treats while I was on as head cook. It was amazing how much we recieved in a short period of time.(many many cases)
To be able to tell the kids they could have as much as they wanted was really cool.
The Colts are very blessed to have so many giving people looking out for them.
Thank you also to all the cooks who were on with me. I couldn't have done it with out you.
Finals are just around the corner and I can't wait to see the Colts and all of their families again.
