Tour Update: The Blue Devils have made it to Texas! The corps made it safe and sound to Morton Ranch High School in Katy, TX around 10:30 A.M. yesterday morning. Upon getting some floor time to sleep, the corps rehearsed the remainder of the day, making lots of visual changes and enhancements to the show. The story, scenery, and characters are really beginning to come to life, as the creative processes of "INK" continue to develop. We look forward to seeing everybody Friday night in Houston, and Saturday night in San Antonio to showcase what we've been up to!
