Marching Roundtable 1196: Sky Ryders Create a Path to Return to the Field


Recommended Posts

Really hoping SRPAF can get a corps back on the field in the future. Each time I see Sky in the news, I think of the late, great George Tuthill. Always controversial, but man oh man, did that guy just ooze drum corps.

Just came across some trivia while reading through the SRPAF site. 

Sky Ryders were the only corps in DCI history to use live animals in their show in 1980 with the release of doves at the end. The following year, DCI banned live animals which I guess would explain why the Troopers never sent wild horses charging across the field.

Not anything that PETA got involved in, was it?
