With unwavering determination, both corps are forging ahead at full throttle towards Indianapolis for the highly anticipated Championships Week. The Colts have been achieving new heights, with a recent score of 88.163, surpassing last year's top score of 87.2. Meanwhile, the Colt Cadets are making great strides captivating their show, Classical Innovations.

The combined members and dedicated staff of these corps are full of excitement, fueled by the remarkable progress witnessed since the start of the season. The growth has been nothing short of inspiring, fostering a collective sense of enthusiasm.

We would also like to recognize the great support we have received from volunteers throughout the summer. We’re also still accepting food donations as well as any other support people can offer to help us finish strong.
