Pit_Girl_77 Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 Colts Documentary, No Boundaries, Is In The Final Stages Of Production March 25, 2013 Colts Staff Ever want to be a film producer? The full length documentary on the Colts that was filmed last summer is in the final stages of production, but we need backers to finish it by summer. Several hundred hours of great audio and video are "in the can", all recorded as it happened last summer on tour by a professional video team who traveled with us all summer. Now, the detail work begins to funnel it all down into a feature length film that will tell the story of the Colts and drum corps. A professional videographer and sound engineer traveled with us for the entire summer last year, capturing hundreds of hours of footage from the inside. See the tour unfold and enjoy interviews with members, staff, judges, alums, and leaders of the drum corps activity. Take a private look inside at the determination, hard work, and intensity it takes to field a world-class drum corps. "No Boundaries," a professional full-length documentary, is in the final stages of production just in time for our 50th Anniversary. A generous private donor got the project started, and with your help we can raise the remaining $10,000 for final production. A sneak peek trailer from the film, and information on how you can donate, is on line. Click the link and enjoy a glimpse of what it can be: Trailer of the Colts "No Boundaries" Click HERE Your contribution can be made through kickstarter, or directly to the Colts. Your donation is tax-deductible, and goes directly and securely to the Colts Youth Organization, earmarked for the film project. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pit_Girl_77 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 Colts Announce 2013 Program May 20, 2013 Vicki MacFarlane, Colts Director The Colts are proud to announce their 50th Anniversary program, "Field of Dreams." CLICK HERE to learn more about the show, view the 2013 Colts repertoire, and check the summer tour schedule. A half century ago, life was simpler, love was sweeter, and the music of the day was evolving from big band and blues to an exciting new sound called "rock 'n' roll." The Colts evoke memories of the heartland when cruisin' the strip was king, and cookin' up some cool beats was a little piece of heaven. At a time when Elvis couldn't help falling in love, and Jerry Lee shouted, "Great balls of fire," the Colts were born in a quiet corner of Iowa where simple pleasures and a determined spirit defined this place where dreams come true. REPERTOIRE "Can't Help Falling In Love," by Hugo Peretti, Luigi Creatore and George David Weiss "At Last," by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren "American Graffiti," an arrangement by Aaron Guidry "The Place Where Dreams Come True" (from Field of Dreams), by James Horner "Chorale & Fugue In Jazz," by Morton Gould Enjoy two opportunities to see the Colts prior to the start of the DCI season. The Colts will appear in the annual Memorial Day parade in downtown Dubuque on Monday, May 27th. Following the parade, the Colts will perform their 2013 production with a standstill performance in Washington Park. Our 3rd Annual Summer Premiere is scheduled for Saturday, June 22nd in the Loras College Rock Bowl. CLICK HERE for additional details regarding this FREE event featuring the full field shows of both the Colts and Colt Cadets. Preshow entertainment provided by our Pandemonium Steel Drum Ensemble. Be sure to order your tickets for Music On The March to be held in the beautiful, new Dalzell Field at Dubuque Senior High School on Friday, July 12th. Summer is here! Time to enjoy some great music and performances provided by your "home team" Colts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pit_Girl_77 Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 Colts Receive $25,000 Grant From Dubuque Racing Association May 30, 2013 Greg The Dubuque Racing Association recently announced grant awards to local and area non-profit organizations. This year's grant will go toward the replacement of the roof at the Colts Center. In 2012, the Colts received $40,000 for new uniforms for the 2013 season. The Dubuque Racing Association, (DRA) is the non-profit organization that is the license holder for the Mystique and the Diamond Jo casinos. Grants have been offered to non-profit organizations through a competitive grants process most every year since 1985. Significant funds also are contributed to the City of Dubuque from the DRA. The last two years, the DRA awarded the Colts the maximum amount offered both years, $40,000 last year for new uniforms for both the Colts and the Colt Cadets in commemoration of the 50th anniversary season of the Colts, and this year, the maximum $25,000. Both grants came with a requirement of a match of an additional 25% or more. For the new uniforms for the Colts and the Colt Cadets, 230 in total, donors were given the opportunity to dedicate a uniform for a contribution of $65 per uniform. A total of 237 uniforms were dedicated by donors this spring. The Colts wore the new uniforms in the Memorial Day Parade in Dubuque and the Colt Cadets will show off their new uniforms at Brass 'n' Brats in Belmont, Wisconsin on Tuesday, June 11. Since 1987, the Colts have received grants from the DRA totaling over $340,000 for new instruments, vehicles, uniforms, a souvenir trailer, computers and equipment maintenance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pit_Girl_77 Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 Published on Jun 15, 2013 The Colts celebrated the men and women of the United States Armed Forces by participating in the annual Memorial Day parade in Dubuque followed by their tribute concert in Washington Park. The day also marked the public debut of the new uniforms. For new and veteran Colts alike, becoming the first person to wear a new corps uniform was truly a spectacular moment.
