Post From Jody G (Departing Head Cook)

Jody G. left last night from St. Peter….had to be at work this morning.

New head cook – Deb L.

Volunteers on the truck….Lisa, Dale, Rod, Luba, Cindy, Anne – Bill is driving a van and also helps out doing just about anything and everything

The crowd at St. Peter was very enthusiastic last night. Lots of Minnesota high school bands attending and performing.

The weather yesterday was a welcome change….sweatshirts were needed in the morning and by mid-day the clouds moved out and the sun was bright in the sky ( as a Minnesotan – it was one of our perfect summer days!)

The show was not adjudicated and that felt a little strange…but, the corps did a fantastic show.  Everyday – it improves and more changes are occurring.  The cooks got to watch the run-thru yesterday and the energy on the field was felt by us all.  The members are an amazing bunch of young adults.  They have drive, energy and work ethic like no other. The staff are so very positive in their remarks to the members and I think that is reflecting in their work ethic.

I hope you can put on the blog also – a big thank you to the volunteers on the cook-truck…they are an awesome and hard working group of people.  I never miss the lack of sleep when I get back to my real world– but, I truly miss my drum corps friends ,fellow volunteers and the laughter we share and most importantly the kids who make this activity what it is.

thanks for the great update Jody! It's great to hear from the people "on the front line" so to speak. Glad to hear the staff and kids meshing so well. Can't wait to see another weeks work put into place by the time I get to see them again in Michigan City!
