Greetings all...
Well, its only a week before I join the 08 Boston Crusader summer tour as a volunteer. This is my first attempt at blogging but I'd like to be able to give you a volunteer Dad's perspective from the road.
I'll be joining the kids just before the first show of the season near Toledo, Ohio and travellng with them until the finals in Indianapolis.
Right now, I'm scheduled to drive one of the sleeper vehicles w/equipment trailer--that might change as we go down the road--Last season, I did souvies for several weeks and then drove the sleeper (U3).
I'm looking forward to the summer--it is very rewarding working with these young folks. And it is especially compelling to see them develop on a daily basis. (Even with the ups and downs that inevitably develop--its a long tour.
I was in New Hampton NH for the first two weeks of move-in this year and the corps is off to a great start. The show music is terrific and the drill is over the top. The kids are very positive about the show and eager to get on the road.
I heard from my son that they did the entire show last night for the NH preview and it was awesome.
SO...stay tuned...I can't promise I will get to post every day, but I'll try to cover the events regularly.
Cheers

Great idea Curt! I'll be looking for your daily entries. Makes me feel more like I'm there; wish I was! Love you Boston -Jackie
What a great idea Curt, I'll be looking forward to your daily entries as well. Thank you for taking your time to do this and keeping us updated on the tour. I'm really excited about this year !
This is so cool. I wish I had my laptop on the road last year so I could do something like this. I can't wait to see updates!

This is wonderful. My first year. Would like to keep up the pics and news as much as possible. Thank you So Much. You deserve an award.
Thanks for setting up this site. It's always good to get info from on tour. 'Look forward to checking in periodically !
GOOOOOOOOOO, Curt!!!!
I hope you have a great time!
Please say hi to Devon for me.
And remember to make sure your trailer hitch is properly welded before you hit the highway....
Curt, This is a wonderful way for those of us at home to keep up to date on all the happenings! Scores alone aren't enough. Zach Bello isn't the best caller (having loads of fun!!!) so this will be a good way to keep in touch with the corps. See you in Orlando, Atlanta and Bloomington. Be safe and say Hi to Zach for me.
