Word from the Road:

The corps was able to get outside all day Wednesday and had the treat of a big yellow object in the sky. They had rain for only 15 minutes after meal 3 and then was back at. Still digging deep and plowing through drill. 
Everyone is happy and having a super Cornfield Tour!

The corps left their mark with the debut of the new uniforms and show music at the Memorial Day parade and afternoon performance. It was a  full crowd who was excited about what the corps was offering. BRAVO! Although it was a bit rainy, all went off well. 

As for today, the corps is very upbeat and digging hard on learning drill, music and the guard book. The staff is extremely excited for the season. Kid's are doing great and "eating very well." I think I speak for us all when we say we are waiting as patiently as we can to see the final product on the field. :) 

To our seamstresses.....thank you is simply not enough. Your endless hours this weekend getting the corps fitted and ready to go down the street for the first time was a beautiful sight. THANK YOU! 

THANK YOU to the countless volunteers who helped make this weekend go smoothly! We couldn't do it without you! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! 

Stopping in to see the corps?? Feel free to bring bananas! 

Want to help? We have spots still open on the cooktruck! All information available at www.colts.org  Contact Bill S today! You won't want to miss out!
