The Marine Forces Pacific Band, one of twelve field bands throughout the Corps, is stationed at Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Kaneohe Bay on the island of Oahu. While the Marines who serve with the band call "K-Bay" home, they spend much of their time traveling throughout the Pacific region and abroad, fulfilling their duties as musical ambassadors for the Marine Corps. In addition to providing musical support for parades, concerts, ceremonies, and other official events the band is trained and equipped to fulfill its role as a provisional rifle platoon.

We, the Marines who serve in the band, are proud bearers of a heritage dating back to the whistling fifes and rolling drums of the first Marine music in 1775. A long-standing tradition of musical and military excellence is our legacy, and one we willing embrace. We are the few, the proud, the Marines.
