Traditions
The hornline members can be seen wearing Buddhas on chains around their necks in warmups. Buddhas are given to members toward the end of Pre-Tour camp. The white beads on the Buddha signify how many years a member has marched with the corps.
In 2004, the corps performed "A Celebration of Life: Mind, Body, Spirit" As a result, the Doxology theme was incorporated into a corps song that was sung throughout 2004 and at the beginning of 2005.

In 2005, the color guard bus was hit by the equipment truck of Capital Sound while driving out of the parking lot from the Madison, WI show.
