Colts Family Celebrates 2011 With Annual Recognition Banquet
November 30, 2011
What a great weekend for the Colts family! Our annual banquet allowed us to recognize the three vital elements that create a successful organization -- the members, staff and volunteers from both of the drum corps. One evening alone does not allow us the time to express the gratitude to all who make this experience possible. If you helped out the organization in any way whatsoever (driver, donor, cook, sewing crew, parent, ticket taker, etc., etc.) and were unable to attend the banquet, please accept our sincere THANKS for all you do!
In addition to a number of Honorable Mentions presented in these categories, the following members were given a plaque as the top vote getter(s) in each as chosen by their peers:
