Music on the March_ Colts Drum and Bugle Corps 2010 RequestsMay 21, 2010
Mayor Roy Buol
Dubuque City Council
50 West 13 Street
Dubuque, IA 52001
Dear Mayor Buol and Council Members,
Our 48 annual Music on the March show is Wednesday, June 30 and this year's show features one of
the best line ups of corps in years. We hope to match last year's record sell -out crowd!
Our `second' show, Music on the March 2 will be Sunday, August 8, featuring open class corps, such
as the Colt Cadets, including two past national champion corps.
First, I would like to invite you and members of the Council to attend Music on the March. We
anticipate an audience of around 2,200 people, and it is consistently one of the largest outdoor events
in Dubuque every year. You and members of the council would certainly be welcome to address the
audience as well.
Secondly, we respectfully request a proclamation welcoming the audience and congratulating the
participants and the fans who support the Colts. We will include it in our program.
Lastly, we respectfully request Council action on two items, as appropriate:
1) An exemption for any noise ordinance at and around Senior High School. We will be playing
outdoors until approximately 10:30 p.m. at each show.
2) An exemption for any enforcement of residential parking permit rules in the Senior High School
area for both shows. Many of our spectators will not be familiar with the parking restrictions
around Senior, and the crowd will fill all possible parking spaces in and around Senior, especially
with the need to reserve most of the Senior High School lot for buses and semis.
I have enclosed a fact sheet with information about both shows.
Thank you very much for your consideration and on -going support.
Sincere
eg Orwoll
ecutive Director
