Colts

Founded in 1963 as the Junior Dukes, Colts was previously known as the Legionnaires and Colt .45 before adopting its current name in 1976. Since 1993, the corps has placed in the DCI World Championship Finals numerous times. In addition to both a World Class and an Open Class drum corps, the Colts Youth Organization also sponsors a summer band for students in fourth through eighth grades. The governor of Iowa has proclaimed the Colts “Iowa’s Ambassadors of Music.”
