Testimonials

Spain Park High School

"The Rome New Year's Parade was one of the highlights of my career. My students are still in awe of the experience. I have been traveling with bands for 20+ years and I can't say enough good things. I will be glad to travel with Gateway over and over. Thank you!!"

Mike Aycock, Director of Bands

We're ready to help make the most of your trip to the Rose Bowl.

INTERNATIONAL BOWL GAMES

Bowl Games in foreign countries generate the same enthusiastic crowds as in the U.S. For many, the only ingredient missing to complete this "American football experience" has been American bands.
