In 2016, Pegasus received a special invitation from Drum Corps International to participate in the DrumLine Battle competition held in the United States. They made history by becoming the first Hong Kong team to receive such an invitation and went on to secure the international championship. In 2017 and 2019, Pegasus collaborated with the world champion, The Bluecoats Drum & Bugle Corps, for the Hong Kong Chinese New Year Parade.
Pegasus has maintained an active presence in various concerts and television programs, including events such as the Terence Lam Summer Blues Concert, Sammi Cheng FollowMi World Tour Concert, and Good Night Show 3 & 5.
