Their latest international tour was in June 2018, when the wind ensemble travelled to Italy to perform in the Florence Festival of Youth Orchestras.
The group has also traveled to Australia where they performed in the Sydney Opera House, combining with three other ensembles to premier a new David Gillingham piece, The Sails of Time.
The group was created as a joint venture between Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland Institute of Music.
According to the announcement by Ciepluch at the concert on November 1, 2009, there are so many talented young people in the area schools, he and the other directors decided to start this third group.
More uncommonly, Group I required a member to play contrabassoon while premiering Christopher Tucker's A Light in the Deep.
