Day 47 - Music on the March

Home Show: Music on the March

"There's no place like home....." 
Dorothy couldn't have been more correct. After a quick drive North from Camanche High School, the corps arrived to Senior High School in Dubuque right on schedule. Today will be an exciting day filled with alumni, friends, family, seasoned drum corps veterans, and those who have never been to a drum corps show before as well. For many, this will be their first time seeing the 2014 Colts in action; or maybe seeing their son or daughter for the first time since they left for a summer of drum corps 47 days ago. Regardless, tonight's show will be unlike anything anyone has seen before. Widespread changes of music and drill will be spread throughout the show. New props, staging, and even costumes might be revealed. Most noticable, however, might be the revealing of the 2014 guard show flags. All in all, tonight will be an exciting night for everyone; both spectators and corps personnel alike. However, the same question still remains;

Are you ready to see what's on the Dark Side of the Rainbow?
