In November of 2001, 2005, and recently again in 2008 the Johnson City Marching  Band performed for millions of people live at the Toronto Santa Claus Parade. The Wildcat Marching Band also appeared at the Preakness Parade in Baltimore, Maryland in May of 2005. In 2007, the Marching Wildcats performed for thousands of people in the Niagara Falls Santa Claus parade.
 

The 2009, 51st Annual Columbus Day Tournament of Bands featured 10 bands from New York State and Northern Pennsylvania. Thousands of people lined the streets of a chilly Binghamton morning to watch the marching bands march down Main Street. The Wildcat Marching Band placed 1st in the Large School Division with a score of 99.0 that matched their all-time best score for this parade. The Wildcats bested their hometown rivals, the Union Endicott Tigers and the Vestal Golden Bears Marching Bands. The Wildcats also placed 1st in the Drum Major competition and 2nd place in the Color Guard competition in the Large School Division. The Wildcats were the defending champions (2008) and now have won the Columbus Day Tournament Of Bands Parade for a total of 22 years.
