 The 65-member corps did not make either DCM or DCI finals, despite its very high drum scores.In breaking off the merger in 1992, Matt Daugherty and John Wooten took the laid back style to its logical conclusion, forging a new identity for the Cedar Rapids corps known as Nite Express.Only a handful of Emerald Knights joined this corps (mostly in the drum line,) instead most members joined the Quad City Knights.
