Holland American Legion Band
"This highly customized tour for the Holland American Legion Band was a great success and exceeded my expectations! Our concerts in the Netherlands were extremely meaningful and rewarding for all involved. Gateway provided all the performance experiences we wished to include and great sight-seeing opportunities as well. The 65th D-Day Anniversary tour was such a wonderful experience that we will consider doing another major trip in the next few years."

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.
