Want a sneak peek at the new red coats?

Check out this KWTV "News 9" report from Tuesday night showing the new uniforms coming out of the boxes from Fruehuaf, along with interviews with Brian Britt and members Laura Ramsey (uniform manager), Cameron Robinson, and Samantha Coppedge. There's even a little impromptu Thriller dance, if you can handle Gan Matthews' singing.

It also gives a hint of the crazy schedule, which you can also see on our Events calendar.
