Ott's son, arranger and composer Jim Ott, led the corps to a signature sound and to a unique and playful character on the field. The corps specialized in a nautical theme, wearing the short-sleeved horizontally striped shirts and white ducks of the British navy.
The Commodores had the distinction of reaching DCI's top 12 in DCI's second year of existence; they finished 12th. The corps folded in 1977.
