Throughout its history the band has been in great demand around the state for parades, celebrations and concerts.  The band was invited to take part in the first Minneapolis Aquatennial parade and was named "The Governor's Own Band" in 1938 and 1939.    The band has played in every Aquatennial since its inception in 1939.  During those years the band has been chosen Grand Open Champion 21 times and Torchlight winner 17 times. It is the only band to have won the title of State Champion Band at the State Fair for 7 consecutive years. 

While the entire band both marched and played concerts until 1969 when the concert band was established as a separate entity, it was as a marching unit that the band first attained renown for itself and for the community of Robbinsdale.  Early directors, drum majors and assistants honed the marching skills of the members into a finely tuned precision corps. 

In 2004, Mike Serber faced the reality of dwindling interest in marching.  Unable to compete in school categories and unable to compete with the large non-school units, he changed the style of marching to a small "combo" that provides parade entertainment.

The Covid-19 Pandemic put a pause into all face-to-face band activities and the Marching never band never came back after leadership changes and dwindling interest. Maybe again, someday?
