Colts And Colt Cadets Celebrate The Season With Member Awards And Age Outs

The Colts and Colt Cadets both delivered memorable performances at the DCI World Championships in Indianapolis on August 7–9. Following their last appearance, each corps took time to wrap up their season, recognize outstanding members and volunteers, and for Colts, honor their age out class of 2025.

The Colts media team was hard at work throughout the summer, documenting every move, note, rim shot, and catch on Facebook, X, and Instagram. Be sure to check out all the great pictures and videos!

The wrap up was a time to recognize the achievements of each group. Members awards — other than the Colts marching awards — are selected by their peers. Awards presented to Colts and Colt Cadets members were:
