HISTORY -- 1991

      In an effort to keep pace with the success and growth of the football team, recruiting was stepped up in 1991. Beginning in the spring, a group was formed called the Summer Knights. This was an ultra-hip, high-energy show band consisting of 23 members of the Knights. The Summer Knights toured schools in West Florida in order to inform students about the music program and UCF as a whole. Since that time, recruiting efforts have brought the size of the Knights up to their largest membership ever.

      For the 1991 marching season, the Knights experienced a "rebirth" with new uniforms, instruments, and music. Even "Sherman", the beloved instrument/equipment truck, received a face-lift for the season. In addition, "The Accolade" was enhanced and the Knights Alumni Band Association was formed to increase Alumni awareness and involvement in the Marching Knights. The band received rave reviews for their participation as the official band of the WALT DISNEY WORLD 20th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION. The Knights were seen by millions of people on the live television at that event.
