Liberty HS Grenadier Marching Band
"Our band's tour of Hawaii was an absolutely unforgettable, positive experience. This was the trip of a lifetime! I've been with this band for nearly 30 years and we've been all over; without a doubt this stands out as one of the best band trips, if not THE best trip, I've experienced with our students."
Greg MacGill, Director of Bands
Bethlehem, PA

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.

Concert Bands and Marching Bands
A New Years Day Parade in Rome, memorial performances on the piers of Pearl Harbor, marching in the Waikiki Holiday Parade or performing on the beaches of Normandy are all great opportunities for your marching band. If you don’t see what you’re looking for here, call Gateway to customize your marching band tour.
