Yes, unique and very distinguishable from other corps at that time and I'd agree, even played an exciting book. But with execution the name of the game then, they just didn't blow me away. Perhaps it's just the mystique of the 1975 controversy that provides them legend status. I think that's a part of it. Watching their Hershey performance on YouTube...they certainly weren't bad- then again... having one of the lead sopranos with a Master's in trumpet performance didn't hurt!

Video online from their Hershey PA performance after they got DQ'ed if one does a little look on YT, last I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
year1buick Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 All of them, really, but if I had to choose, I’d have to say Sky Ryders. I’m biased, of course, as that’s where I marched my first season in DCI, in ‘91. I thought we had a pretty fun and entertaining story-telling show that year, which was what the corps was so well known for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
