Seeing double in Ada
By Monty Siekerman
A few sprinkles at "curtain time" for the Cadets performance brought out a double rainbow for the corps and audience to enjoy on Sunday evening.

The second rainbow can be seen slightly to the right of the main rainbow.
Throughout history there have been many wives tales--some good, some bad--about rainbows.
The Cadets, I'm sure, are hoping the omen in the sky means "good luck" in winning the Drum Corps International competition this year. The group worked diligently at ONU for the past two and a half weeks to take home the top trophy.
In addition to a double rainbow viewed at the beginning of the Cadets performance, a tower rainbow was observed at the end when spectators returned their cars to leave. The unusual sight of a multicolored cloud stretching upward and downward was caught on camera by the Ada Icon.
