TOURNAMENT OF ROSES

When the invitation arrives, make Gateway YOUR second call!
We're ready to help make the most of 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.

Tournament of Roses

The "Granddaddy of them all", an invitation to the Tournament of Roses is no small achievement. A highlight of any band's story, this may well be the most important tour you ever plan. Gateway is experienced and ready to help your band make the most of your visit to California. When the invitation letter comes, make Gateway YOUR second call!

"When Blue Springs High School received the invitation for the Tournament of Roses Parade, the 2nd call I made [after my wife] was Gateway Music Tours. Their attention to detail, impeccable scheduling, service with a smile, and a true understanding of the specific needs of a moving a band is second to none. We have traveled with Gateway over the years not only because of the outstanding execution of their trips, but because of the true passion they have for the kids, music and creating an experience of a lifetime."

"We couldn't wish for more from a travel agency specializing in student music group travel. This is our third trip with Gateway, and their professionalism and expertise remain most evident as we prepare for the 2009 Tournament of Roses Parade. I'm so impressed with not only Gateway's attention to detail, but also with their flexibility. They understand everything inherent in working with traveling high school musicians -- from fundraising/payment issues, to custom planning of transportation/hotel/meal needs, to the coordination of various performance venues. Foremost, they are more than a business; Gateway Music Festivals and Tours is comprised of outstanding people who truly care and provide for our students' needs, welfare, and satisfaction."
