The Colts Drum and Bugle Corps are a Division I drum and bugle corps based in Dubuque, Iowa and founded in 1963, and are a member corps of Drum Corps International. Also known at times as the Dubuque Junior Dukes, the Legionnaires, and the Colt .45s, the Colts are a recurring DCI finalist corps, and may have been the first corps to perform in an irregular meter, using a piece in a 7/4 time signature during their 1970 show.
Slightly larger than LaCrosse, Wisconsin, Dubuque is the second smallest metropolitan area in the nation with a Division I touring corps, and as such they enjoy strong community support. Friday night bingo at the corps hall is extremely popular.
The Colts are seven time DCI finalists. Their highest finish was in 1995, when they placed 9th.
The corps director is Greg Orwoll.
[edit] Colt Cadets
The Colts youth organization also supports the Colt Cadets, a Division II drum corps geared at ages 11-17. It is one of only three cadet corps remaining in DCI and the only one geared at such a young age group.
