In 1966 The Tropics won The International Battle of the Bands held at McCormick Place in Chicago, IL. The Band took first place over more than 1000 bands, which included such names as Chicago and Tommy James. Out of that came a recording contract with Columbia Records and the single "Time" produced by Teo Macero, which made it to the top of the charts and got a "92" on Dick Clark's American Bandstand! The winners of the International Battle of the Bands in 1965 were The Young Rascals!

On May 7, 1999, The Tropics performed a 30-year reunion concert at the St. Petersburg Coliseum, a benefit for All Children's Hospital. This was the time to get back in the studio and re-record some of their favorite tunes, these recordings are available now at CD Baby.com .
This 7 song CD contains a song written for the occasion, "Still Get a Chill!!"
The reunion was a tremendous success and many good friends were reunited in a free-spirited, fun-filled nostalgic evening, reliving the innocence of those wonderful times. "It was Fabulous" says Margie Sexton, the band's former manager and owner of the famous "SURFER'S CLUB," in Madeira Beach, Fla.
