LOOKING AHEAD INTO THE WEEK:

There are still great seats available for DCI Finals week in Indianapolis! Parents, do everything you can to get there! www.dci.org has all the information you need to find a seat!

Parents and friends! Don’t miss the final runs of the 2013 season! It may be Friday or on Saturday. This is a great way to

share and understand this experience your student has had.

Regardless, and no matter what it takes, make every effort to join us on our last days of tour! It will be a memory you will share for a lifetime!

Season Wrap Up Events – The season wrap up and corps dismissal will be held at the end of our 

scheduled events and after equipment check in on Saturday in Indy. Tentative times would be at 

2:00 pm or at Midnight, pending our last performance timeline. Plan approximately two 

hours. All staff and members are expected to attend. Students will be dismissed from 

downtown Indy following the ceremony. Our tentative location is Military Park.

Trucks will depart early evening for the return to Dubuque, and buses will return to Dubuque at

the end of the Saturday evening DCI events, departing Indy between 12:30 am and 2:30 am.
