Along the way, not only have the Ghost Riders won the New York State American Legion Crown, they have also won the prestigious DCA Mini Corps World Championship. The Ghost Riders have competed in 11 consecutive championships, and have been in contention every year, certainly a tribute to their desire to always strive for the best possible performance every time out.
Besides performing at parades, concerts and corporate functions throughout Western New York, the Ghost Riders have also performed at various events such as past Mighty St. Joe’s Classics in Rochester, the North Tonawanda Canal Fest, Harrisburg "Serenade in Brass" after concert party and the America’s Hometown Thanksgiving Celebration in Plymouth, Mass.
In September of 2006, the Ghost Riders had the distinct honor of being the only Drum Corps from the United States invited to perform at the prestigious International Marine Tattoo held in Rochester, NY. This event included bands, drill teams and musical ensembles from Great Britain, Canada and the United States.
The Corps co-directors are Doug Mellenthine and Rod Keppel. Joey Pero handles the musical arranging & instruction. The working guard and visuals are by the “Renaissance Guard” of Buffalo.
