As your travel partner, GMT anticipates and handles EVERYTHING, so you are free to concentrate on your rehearsals and performance.
Experts in Travel
Our first performance trip hosting a band to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade was in 1973. Our first music tour hosting a band to perform in the Pasadena Rose Parade band was in 1963. Since that time, we’ve been back with student performance groups more times than we could count. Each year, Grueninger Music Tours takes hundreds of students to perform all over the globe. From Ireland on St. Patrick’s Day to Spring Break trips to Orlando, we’ve been around the block a few times. Since 2000 alone, GMT has managed band travel for over 60 bands to the Tournament of Roses in Pasadena, California. It is common for GMT to move over 1,500 guests in a week to California.

Your Music Travel Partner
We know many other companies will want to “book” your travel, but at GMT, making your music travel arrangements is merely the starting point for the relationship we will establish with you. Our TOTAL COMMITMENT philosophy is the essence of who we are and how we define and measure ourselves. Since Grueninger Music Tours is a full-service, group travel provider staffed with many former band and music directors, we are able to bring countless insights and perspectives to help our clients better plan their group music tours. We “get” travel AND we’ve “walked the parade route” multiple times. We know what to recommend — and what to tell you to avoid. Unlike so many of our competitors, we offer a full array of resources, including marketing, accounting and fundraising support for your next student travel performance.
