They travel nationally and internationally each summer to promote its program and The City of Calgary.

[3][4] Between the years of 1961 to 1981, the band appeared weekly on CFCN-TV in a show called “Calgary Safety Round-Up."

[1][3] The Calgary Round-Up Band had its first out of province performance in 1962 for the Annual Safety Patrol Jamboree held in Ottawa, Ontario.

The following year, in 1963, the group traveled to Vancouver, British Columbia as they were invited to perform at the 51st Grey Cup.

[3][5] In the 1970s, Brass and Woodwind Instruments were added to the band, as well the uniform colors were changed to orange and brown, resulting in the band receiving the nickname “The Root-Beer Band.” In 1975 the Calgary Safety Patrol Band changed the uniform colors a final time to white and blue they still wear to today.
