With a long standing tradition of parade excellence, the band is known for its militaristic hybrid marching style, and commitment to a growth mindset.

Though the review ended in the early 1990s, the Pride of Tracy remains a respected force in NCBA parade competition, consistently competing in 1A-2A divisions.

The band marches in green jackets with gold accents, shakos with French plumes, and drum majors traditionally spin maces (though this can vary based on experience or height.)

The winter guard competes separately in the CVGPC circuit, consistently placing in the top ranks and winning the 2019 Scholastic Regional A Championship.

The song selection rotates annually and has recently included “Hot To Go” by Chappell Roan and “Not Like Us” by Kendrick Lamar.
