St. Olaf Band
"I've known for years now that Gateway Music Festivals is one of the very best in the industry, so it is always gratifying and never a surprise to hear a colleague talk about the success of one of his or her performance tours, only to find out a bit later in the conversation that they were also managed by Gateway."
Dr. Timothy Mahr, Conductor
St. Olaf College, Northfield, MN

TOURNAMENT OF ROSES
When the invitation arrives, make Gateway YOUR second call!
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.

Adult Groups
Gateway provides your adult chorus, orchestra or band with appropriate performance opportunities, festivals or events to compose your ideal tour. Music appreciation tours are also a way for adult groups to tour although you may not have a balanced ensemble.
