The program underwent changes after the 1999-2000 season. The Crimson Regiment also performed at 2004 Nokia Sugar Bowl. The Crimson Regiment won the title of AAA Champions in the WBA circuit in 2004. More recently, this award winning band has been recovering from decline. Membership has slowly increased, and the band now competes at an AA class competitive level.
