The group featured 24 singer/dancers, a 12 piece showband, a technical staff and a public-relations staff focused on a musical variety show which toured Virginia and surrounding states as "musical ambassadors of Virginia Tech" in shows hosted by civic groups, conventioneers, and sometimes the university itself.

[1] The group was known on campus for its annual "Homeshow" which was presented each spring and Christmas show during the holiday which benefited a local charity.

[2][3] During those 21 years, the group produced 17 albums and performed a cross country summer tour sponsored by Georgia Pacific in the late 1970s which concluded with an appearance on the Dinah Shore Show.

Founding member Associate Professor of Music Emeritus Paul Breske led the showband until his death in 1992.

[7][8] The new group also disbanded the showband, replacing it with a rhythm quartet of student musicians playing guitar, piano, bass and drums.
