Looks to be a lovely evening for drum corps if the wind stays down. From NOAA:

Today -- Mostly sunny, with a high near 83. Breezy, with a west northwest wind 11 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph.
Tonight -- Partly cloudy, with a low around 64. Breezy, with a northwest wind 9 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 24 mph.

Drum corps returns to Ankeny for the first time in over 10 years. The Colts site has a fun write up about the history of the show. Excited to watch this stacked lineup of corps in person along with everyone watching on Flo!

Will the larger than life size bust of Brandt Crocker be unveiled tonite?

Also, non-Iowans be aware that this show's concessions advertise those sloppy wet ground hamburger meat on a bun slathered in sauce as "Dairy Mades" or "Dairy Maids."   Corn fields used to come right up to side boundaries.

I think he deserves a plaque outside the stadium like they have at Whitewater for the first DCI  Championships. 

Actually, was watching Vangaurd rehearsal a few years ago before the (then) Waukee, Iowa show. Brandt showed up to check things out and, without the kids knowing, snuck up into the press box. As they were about to begin their run-through, he made his trademark announcement over the corps PA system. There were smiles all around. It was a fun little throwaway moment.

I doubt SCV reveals their BIG new changes tonight.

So typically wacky in Waukee.  That's home of my irish cousin Patrick Cunningham who aged out of PR's F.E. Great guy.

Loose meat sandwiches.  Maid-rite was the place to get them.  There’s was one in the town I grew up in here in Illinois.

Sloppy Joe's is what the rest of the nation called them....except for Morris County, NJ where a Sloppy Joe means any meat sandwich with 1000 Island dressing on it. Go figure.
