"RED Triumphs!" is a track based on American marching band music, being used as a sort of fight song that plays when RED Team wins. The orchestration focused on brass and marching percussion, plus the style of music, reflects RED Team's association with rural or agricultural aesthetics.

After a short high-brass fanfare, the track's melody is played by trombones and saxophones, with tuba and trumpets punctuating phrases and the marching percussion section keeping time. In the second statement of the full melody, the marching percussion parts become more complex. This leads into a percussion feature, where the melody is omitted only leaving punctuation from saxophones and tuba. After the percussion feature, the fanfare returns as a short interlude. The melody is restated and the percussion section increases in intensity, until the final statement of the track.
