Reunited in 2002, following a 34-year absence from the field, the Royal-Airs set a new standard for alumni corps around the nation. The Royal-Airs Reunion Corps paid tribute to its founder, Sie Lurye, in 2002. In 2003 the Big Blue dedicated its season to Col. Truman Crawford, brass arranger from 1962-1968. Then, in 2004 and 2005 the Royal-Air Alumni Corps entered the field with totally revitalized programs committed to providing marching members and drum corps fans more opportunities to experience military style drum corps and the tradition of one of the most renowned corps in drum corps history.
The Royal-Airs took a successful venture into arena drum corps in 2009, keeping the stands excited with their traditional sound and look. In 2010, Royal-Airs hope to continue to grow, as they look to another fine arena season.
