Gateway Indoor (also called Gateway Indoor Percussion, Gateway,[1] and G-dub) is an indoor drumline based in St. Louis, MO. The group competes in the Percussion Independent World division of Winter Guard International, as well as the Mid-Continental Color Guard Association circuit.[2]
Background
Gateway Indoor was started in 2004 by Paul Richardson and Mike Davis, and was named for the Gateway Arch in St. Louis.[3] Since 2004, the group has been a Percussion Independent World class finalist 8 times, and has scored as high as 5th place.[4]
For a time, there existed two groups tied closely to Gateway that acted alongside the normal World Class group in other competitive classes. The Open class group was called Gateway Open and existed in 2007. Gateway Open competed in both MCCGA and WGI. The concept was reinvented in 2008 as Synergy Indoor, an A class group, and given independence from Gateway, although it retained its ties to the ensemble.[5] Neither group has existed since the closure of the 2008 season.
The group is sponsored by Pearl Drums,[6] Sabian,[3] and Evans drum heads.[7]
