Trixie and the Illusions

Trixie and the Illusions are a student band that appears in the film My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks.

In the AWA fics, the band is part of the AWA.

Overview
In My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks, Trixie and the Illusions compete in the Canterlot High School Musical Showcase against several rivaling bands, including the Rainbooms and the Dazzlings, and perform the song Tricks Up My Sleeve. In the second round of the competition, they eliminate the pianist duo Lyra Heartstrings and Sweetie Drops and face the Rainbooms in the semifinals.

When the Dazzlings manipulate Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna into advancing the Rainbooms to the finals, Trixie and the Illusions—at the Dazzlings' encouragement—ambush the Rainbooms during their rehearsal and trap them beneath the amphitheater stage. With the Rainbooms having apparently forfeited, Trixie and her band are able to play in their place.

Trixie's bandmates are last seen performing Tricks Up My Sleeve a second time in the Battle of the Bands' final round.

In My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Friendship Games, "Lavender Lace" briefly appears in a crowd shot of students at the end of the academic decathlon.
