Each year, the SOS takes a trip to Montreal, Quebec, Canada, to perform for the Alouettes de Montréal. During the fall, students always expect the usual impromptu parade through the campus by the SOS. They were also a part of the NFL 2007–2008 season opener as they performed the National Anthem with Aretha Franklin and shared the stage with other recording artist such as Aerosmith, Britney Spears, Mary J. Blige, and others.[33] The SOS was featured in the Original Battle of the Bands held at RFK Stadium.
