About Us

The Gateway Concert Band is a community band based in Enumclaw, Washington, USA. Under the direction of Jack Prindle, the band was formed in March of 1996. Since that time it has presented over 400 performances; all of the band’s concerts have been free-of-charge. Its eight main concerts are usually presented at the Enumclaw High School and White River High School in December and March; or at Rotary Centennial Park (across from the Enumclaw Library) and Creator Lutheran Church (in Bonney Lake) in June and August, weather permitting. Additional appearances include participation in memorial observances at the Enumclaw Veteran’s Memorial and National Military Cemetery in Maple Valley.
