Lots of Colts friends and supporters have arrived in Bloomington and Indianapolis, and it's great to see everyone! Colt Cadets are here too, of course, and performed in semi-finals this morning. Yesterday was a warm, mostly sunny day which was great for rehearsing. There was a nice crowd watching the rehearsal while I was there. Lucas Oil Stadium is huge and high. The weather for the performance was perfect, because they kept the stadium roof closed. Colts had a nice show, and from the nosebleed section the drill looked spot-on (the whole visual program did, actually). While the audience was appreciative of the early corps performing, the Colts were the first corps with a noticeable following.

I understand that the age-outs played "Morning" to wake the corps this morning. That would have been an awesome way to wake up! It's sunny and 73 today; another great day for rehearsing.

GO RED TEAM!

I watched the colts from a movie theater in manchester, ct last night. It was an amazing show and I couldn't be prouder! Great job red team and congrats on a great season.
