We have had a very pleasant stay at Pittsburgh State University in Kansas. Great Midwestern summer heat and a balmy evening for the clinic and show.The clinic was held Tuesday evening for several hundred band camp HS students that were housing at the university. They got to go on the field with the hornline for warm-up exercises and the color guard got to try a little guard work with the Crusader Guard on the field. They all seemed to be in awe of the experience and showed their appreciation on Wednesday nite during the show. It was a warm reception indeed and the corps put a great performance on the field.
We were treated to a pizza special at one of the local shops after the show and finally departed Pittsburgh at about 12:30AM bound for St. Charles , MO and Lindenwood University.
Lindenwood is another 5 star facility and we will do another clinic here tonite before moving on to Murfeesboro, TN.
In Kansas, there was some repair work for the volunteers. Flags take a real beating on the field and there was many hours of sewing to do. The corps uniforms were also taken in slightly since many of the members have lost inches and shed pounds--it is a well know fact that Crusaders are some of the most well tailored players on the field in DCI.Everyone is working toward the big show this weekend in Atlanta and then the big home show in Lawrence. We all look forward to seeing the home crowds again before we move on to finals.
We're changing over several volunteers again this week so fresh new faces to pick up the torch.
My big announcement is waiting for a coordinating activity by the Crusader web team--soon though.
Enjoy the photos

We really enjoyed the show at Pittsburg. We don't get to see them much living in Kansas so we were THRILLED to have them come to Pittsburg. Just wish the weather would have been nicer to you! Thank you to everyone for making the effort. And thanks to PSU for leaving the pool open for the kids ... they had to enjoy that! Good luck the rest of the tour!! (Luke Cramer's family and the seamstress' too)
Curt, I loved the pics! On another note (no pun intended), please call sister Karen regarding the meeting on Aug 12th. We need you to send the powerpoint presentation a.s.a.p. so we can bring the salesman up to speed. Try to send it by this weekend(Aug 2nd). We are really trying to cover all the bases for this critical meeting and need your support. Thanks,
Lil Sis Arlene
ps: See you on Aug 8th
