Tim Allshouse, Blue Springs HS Golden Regiment

"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."
