Founded in 2010 with 12 members, the International Pacific University (IPU) Marching Band made its first appearance at the national marching band competition that same year. Since then, it has continued to grow steadily, and has participated in All Japan Marching Band Champinship consecutively to date, boasting the title of the number one university marching band in Japan (gold award), and is a leader in the Japanese marching world. The band now has over 100 members, and is continuing to grow in size and ability. IPU also puts effort into training marching instructors. Many students majoring in the Faculty of Education aim to become teachers, and there is hope for the training of "teachers who can teach marching." We believe that this initiative is an activity that will nurture the future of marching in Japan.
IPU also has its own marching field and indoor practice facility, providing a training environment unlike any other in Japan.
