Sarah Returns Home From A Successful Colts Tour

Sarah returned home from her successful Colts tour on Sunday August 10th. She got in at about 7:30 PM that evening and was greated with a big hug from her sister Rebecca and I. It has been some time but she is finally home.

I asked Sarah are you ready for Decemeber camps and trying out for the Colts again and her answer was yes this is my other family and I love being a Colt.

Sarah said her final goodbye's to some of the Colts that rode teh bus back with her and off we were to home listening to all the great stories and we stayed up until midnight listening to Sarah tell all the wonderful events that took place during her Colts tour and all the wonderful friends she made this season.

Colt members be sure to check out the Colts photo's and Sarah Blog over the next week as we will be posting some really good things up there.

Dom, your up next after this post falling asleep on the bus on the way to a show. I saw this last night I laughed so hard it was funny. Hope you all enjoy the pictures and film coming up on the Colts photo and blog.

I do want to let all the Colt members know that you did a wonderful and outstanding season and I am proud of each and everyone of you.

I sent this to Greg to be posted on the Cook Truck I will post it here as well.

Esprit De Corps, Pride, Professionalism, Tact, Leadership and more. I have served this Nation for 20 years and I have seen all of this in all of you. You are the spearhead, the point. I believe that everything is within our reach.

You overcame many obstacles this season and each and every time you proved your success not only to yourselves but to the Drum Corps World. Everything is within your reach right now I believe, reach down deep inside you and give it that extra 100 percent. I have faith in the COLTS and YOU.

You have been one TEAM for the last three months. It is now time to take it to the battlefield.

For hours on end you rehearsed from the time the sun rises until the evening ends.
It does not matter whether it is sunny, raining or hot.
You shed your blood, sweat and tears for twelve minutes of glory on the field.
This is Drum Corps
THIS IS YOUTHE COLTS!!!!!!!!

I am proud of all of you.
I am proud of you DewBear and I love you.
Be the Point, make it happen.
I will be watching tonight.
God Speed.

Jacksonville AL Dad Makes a Visit

Hello all

Sorry about getting to the blog and the web page late here. I know it has been a couple of weeks put I spent Sunday the 27th of July visiting Sarah in Rainsville AL at the housing site and then followed the Colts to the Show Site in Jacksonville AL. Sarah was really surprised and happy to see me and I was also happy to see Sarah. We spent some time talking about things while she was eating dinner at the housing site. What a show that was in Jacksonville. I watched the Colts during rehearsal and then seeing all the changes on the field during performance was great. I thought the home show was great, this in was super. With all the changes and what they did was just super, this went way beyond the home show. After the show was over I took Sarah out for dinner and we talked more about how her tour was going and I can see how proud she is to be a member of the Colts.

After dinner we said our goodbye's and they were off to another housing site.

Pictures of rehearsal and the performance from AL are going up on the web tonight.
