Donations: the cook truck could really use some new cereal!! We are being overrun by Honey-Nut Cheerios – anything else would be fantastic!!!

The school staff are absolutely wonderful hosts – whatever the corps needs, they bend over backwards to provide – thank you!!

It stormed hard last night, but today is looking up. Clear sky, a little breeze, and warmer. Time to clean-up the freezer today in preparation for a food drop tomorrow. Mary is on site working with the uniforms – a non-stop task!!

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

I just returned from a weekend in Galena and need to add one more thank-you.

Rob P, Britt's (age-out '07) Dad decided to come and help with projects. The projects couldn't be defined until Sunday - it is Drum Corps after all.

Between 9 and 5, Rob (with help from Loras H and Luba) made his designs, purchased the needed material, and built a mount for the piccolo xylophone AND 3 crotales cases that were based upon Jim H's prototype. A huge task for two days, but totally awesome for one day.

In addition to David's/Rod's thanks to the school staff, I want to add that without the assistance of the school staff it would have been almost impossible to complete these projects.

If you go to the dog and pony tonight, let the Galena cutodians know how much they are appreciated!
