In 1993, a highly successful alumni gathering resulted in a special 27th lancer tribute corps that performed at the 1994 DCI Championships. Playing songs from the junior corps era, the group went under the slogan "Once more in '94", the group had over 300 members on the field. This performance has long been known as the final "Farewell" amongst fans and supporters.
