[[File:IDF Marching Band.jpeg|thumb|The IDF Orchestra, forming a [[Star of David]]]]

The Israel Defense Forces Orchestra was established in 1948 as a part of the newly formed Israel Defense Forces. It was formed out of four orchestras: The Alexandria Division Band, The [[Jewish Brigade|Brigade]] Band, The [[Artillery Corps (Israel)|Artillery Corps]] Band and The [[Givati Brigade]] Band.<ref>{{cita|IDF|1948}}</ref> The orchestra's first conductor was Izhak Muse, a new immigrant from the Soviet Union who played wind instruments. Muse was a graduate of a prestigious military orchestra academy in Leningrad and immigrated to Israel in January 1949. On 4 May 1949, the band participated in the second annual IDF parade celebrating Independence Day, but the crowd that filled the streets blocked the parade route and forced the parade to stop. The event was later nicknamed "The March That Did Not March" and led to the creation of the first Israeli Commission of Inquiry. After several months, [[Shalom Ronli-Riklis]], the former conductor of The Brigade Orchestra, took over as conductor of the orchestra. Ronli-Riklis greatly expanded the orchestra's repertoire from modern to classical music and light music during his tenure as conductor, a position he held until 1960.<ref>{{cita|JVL}}</ref> From 1953 to 1955, renowned Israeli composer [[Noam Sheriff]] served as Ronli-Riklis's assistant. [[Izhak Graziani]], a long-time [[arranger]], composer, and trumpet player in the orchestra, became conductor in 1962. Three months before he died, in 2003, Graziani retired. He was replaced by Lt. Col. [[Michael Yaaran]], who conducted the orchestra until his own retirement in 2013. Major Noam Inbar became the conductor On 29 July 2013<ref>{{cita|Inn}}</ref> and was succeeded by Rom Shamir on 25 April 2018.<ref>{{cita|TAU}}</ref> In 2018, the band received an [[honorary degree|honorary doctorate]] from [[Bar-Ilan University]].<ref>{{cita|BIU}}</ref>
