The weather has been nothing short of spectacular for drum corps practice for the last two days. Warm, sunny days and crisp cool evenings. It is supposed to be nice throughout the week now.If I miss pictures of your member in the section overviews, it is probably because they were not in place for the pictures--alot of uniform measuring, fitting, special visual work being done during the day and often each section sends two or three members at a time. I'll eventually get them filled in.
The corps is generally healthy with only a few doctor runs..a bug in the eye, upset stomach, a pulled muscle, etc. The schedule is becoming the master at this point though--lots more kids asleep well before lights out in the evening--and some pretty tired looking troops in the breakfast line after stretch/run. But the feeling is very positive and they continue to work very hard. In a matter of a few days, the entire show will be on the field and full-show run-throughs will be performed. The clock is counting down now for departure from New Hampton.
THe first laundry nite was done Monday or Tuesday. On a rotating basis, each section gets to use a laundry facility in one of the dorms here on campus. The rain and cold nites have run many of the kids out of clean clothes by this time.
THe refrigeration repair has begun this morning on the food truck and the second large food delivery is scheduled for today. Its always a special "treat" to see 300-400 cases of food show up and get dropped off in the parking lot!
More later..

Thank you very much for all the pics and information about the daily grind. I am a new parent/fan of the Crusaders. My son is Tim Shell ( VT kid ). Its awesome to see the pics of the group, and even more so when I see my son in some of them. God's blessing in safe travel and a great season for the Boston Crusaders!!
