Today, under the direction of Chief Warrant Officer 5 Andres G. Navarro, the band is comprised of 38 Marines. All Marines in the band are fully trained riflemen and professional musicians. Our mission is to provide musical support for ceremonies, functions, and other occasions aboard military installations and throughout the civilian community. We accomplish this through the employment of several musical ensembles, including a marching band, wind ensemble, and various popular music groups and chamber ensembles. Over the past 120 years, Marines of the MarForPac Band performed all over the islands of Hawai'i and traveled around the Pacific to various locations including Tonga, Fiji, China, Australia, New Zealand, Saipan, and American Samoa. By design, we strive to inspire, improve morale, and instill in audiences a sense of pride and patriotism in our nation. We represent the core values, customs, and traditions of the United States Marine Corps.
