Just wanted to post one more time with some Picture links and a huge thank you for all the awesome email and positive feedback. It has been one heck of a season. Since it was our first we were astounded by the pace of the corps. All those members, all that equipment, all the volunteers on and off tour. The staff and interns… The logistics are mind boggling!!! But it all went down pretty smooth as far as we know 
.
I think this Colts thing can be summed up with on word - PASSION. Overused and cliché’ I am certain but truly fitting when it comes to the Colts and this activity. Passion for excellence by the members and Staff, Passion for the Members by the parents and volunteers and passion for the activity by all. It is a wonderful opportunity for the kids and for having gone through this they are all better prepared and developed for the rest of what life has in store. Forever changed by the hard work, sense of pride, and teamwork over the season.
Parents and volunteers this activity is expensive! In financial terms (fees, equipment, travel etc) in the case of parents and in terms of time and sacrifice for volunteers. The pride we feel for our son Jacob (and all the Members) is an awesome reward. Knowing how valuable this will be for their development into great young adults makes this a bargain at twice the price.
It was nice meeting as many of you guys as we did. Had a great time on the truck (virtual and physical ) Have a Great rest of the year!!!
Sincerely,
The Schroeders

Well said, Josh! Passion indeed. It runs so incredibly deep within all involved. Just ask anyone on the outside to try and understand it; they think we're all nuts!
I'll have a few pictures up soon as well, and will add my links.
