In 1995, in response to the declining number of band programs and stagnating band activities in Gamagori City (Aichi, Japan), the local band directors met and established THE GAMAGORI JUNIOR BAND. Their hope is to improve the level of musicianship of youth members and provide cultural exchange opportunities through music.
Since it was established, the GAMAGORI JUNIOR BAND has performed annual concerts 19 times, all receiving positive responses by their community. The band is proud of their music activities both locally and abroad. Internationally, the band has traveled 7 times to China, South Korea and Guam. The band held friendship concerts with bands from Australia, Guam, South Korea and Poland. The Gamagori Junior Band has established a sister city program with Urasoe City, Okinawa.
