Today's News:
Crys says the show was really good last night for what looked to be a very, very full house. Thanks to Peter H. and supporters for their hard work organizing the show!

Speaking about full houses; the cooks fed almost 500 people in less than an hour for meal #4 last night. In addition to the Colts and Colt Cadets, the "other" Cadets joined us. The Cadets had lost their freezer Sunday night and had run out of food. Feeding three corps is definitely a handful. Great job cook crew and Colt Cadets parents for helping.

Received more donations of fresh fruit and veggies yesterday. The donations are not fed to the "other" corps, directly to the Colts. Bananas are especially welcome as we try to stay ahead of the cramping. THANKS TO ALL DONORS!!

Today's News:

Message from Mike Freeland: Just an update from the road! Change camp has brought some pretty fun show changes, a new bus, and a whole lot of excitement. The pit continues its Americana hype with the addition of a new 6' American flag, compliments of the Air National Guard in Wichita, KS. I watched ensemble for the first time in a while last night and was floored with the guards work. The depth of emotion in the show is incredible! The drumline's spirits are high and the hornline keeps finding new levels of performance that make me wish I was able to march again. One of our interns, Kate Hughes, stepped into the cooktruck and with the help of the rest of the admin and some volunteers, prepared a wonderful "breakfast for dinner" that was enjoyed by everyone. Outside of that, we are excited to hit the regional part of the season but can't believe there is only 4 weeks left of this amazing summer! I hope all is well back home, thanks for the continued support!!!

Planning on catching up with the corps anytime? They love fresh fruits, veggies and cookies! Donations are always welcome....and the COLTS thank you for it! :)

Don't forget your mail drop!

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