Nick Angelis Released from the Colts
Though the details are sketchy and still coming in, it has been confirmed that Nick Angelis has been released from duty as the Percussion Caption Head at the Colts. The main reason cited was "differences in opinion" between him and the other Colts staff. At this point, Brett Garrett and Freddie Smith have taken over the caption head responsibilities. As soon as more information comes in, I will make it available to the public.

It's July, Time to Turn Up the Heat
Well, it seems that all the Div I corps are FINALLY on tour (yes Crossmen, I'm talking about you). Time to mark your calendars for your local shows and make it out to see some great performances. Also, DCI.org has put together a list of corps marching in 4th of July parades. If you are lucky enough to have the chance to go see a corp in a parade, go check them out, especially ones with concerts afterwards. Either way, have a fun and safe 4th of July.
