| . | The Quad City Knights Drum and Bugle Corps actually began in Kewanee, Illinois as the Black Knights Senior Drum and Bugle Corps in 1946. They competed continuously from the forties into the early sixties but disbanded and reformed in 1965 as the Kewanee Black Knights Junior Drum and Bugle Corps and hit the competitive field the following year. To avoid confusion with the Black Knights who were based in Belleville, Illinois, they changed to The Knights in 1972 when they became one of the first corps in the nation to carry a theme, incorporating the musical "Camelot" into their field show. In 1974, the corps relocated to Geneseo, Illinois where they remained until moving to the Quad Cities in 1988. The corps ceased operations following their performance in the 1996 Drum Corps International prelims in Buffalo, New York. |
