  1. It wasn't any one thing but a lot things that doomed this relationship.The biggest was problems between the staff members. There were other things that could have been overcome with time. This was really just a trial to see merging would work but also a way for both organizations to survive a bit longer. Both corps had membership challenges. EK had a big percussion section but were short on brass. QCK had brass but could not get enough percussion players. It was agreed to try it for a year and if it went well continuing would be discussed at the end of the year. It didn't go well so we separated again.
  2. Emerald Knights changed their name to Nite Express after the merger broke up.
  3. The name progression was Kewanee Black Knights, Geneseo Knights, Quad City Knights, Knight Command ('90), The Knights ('91-'95). All the same corps. There was a one year merger with the Emerald Knights of Cedar Rapids in 1991.
  4. I'm not sure when the sponsorship started but 1985 would be a good guess. Knights Inn had a plaque in the hotel lobby with a picture of a corps member explaining the sponsorship. I believe it ended just before the 1990 season as the parent company of Knights Inn ran into financial difficulty and cancelled the sponsorship. Caused some hardship with the corps as they gave no warning and the sponsorship money had been committed. The merger with the Emerald Knights was in 1991 not 1988. It only lasted a year before the corps separated again.
  5. Two sets of Premium tickets to Prelims, Alumni Spectacular and Finals. Section 5 Row 35 seats 25 & 26. These are 50 yard line seats. Includes a program and VIP parking. Asking face value $292 for the tickets. I'll pay the shipping to you. Company cancelled all vacations for a special project and won't make exceptions.
  6. Blue Knights are at the Geneseo, IL Middle School, Boston Crusaders are at Davenport North High School and Colts are at Brady Street Stadium.
  7. Yes. Brought the crowd to their feet during that song. They played it during the encore in Madison on Saturday as well.
  8. I have two tickets in section 221 of the club section to sell. Contact me if your interested.
  9. One of my favorite Spirit moments came in '77 when they did a standstill in a small town in Iowa. The main street in the business district was closed off so we got to stand right in front of the hornline. As they finished playing you could hear an alarm going off. The sound had rattled the windows on a bank 3/4 of a block behind the corps and set off the burglar alarm . Not a "glass breaking" moment but close.
  10. I have two tickets to the Murfreesboro show on eBay. Item number 140248491133 Center section half way up. Great seats. I just wish work had not cancelled my vacation so I could go. My loss your gain.
