Gates Tomorrow Wakes up the Crowd

Hershey-based band Gates Tomorrow woke up the crowd this morning as THON crept through the mid-morning hours, delivering a vintage setlist that had everyone in the BJC dancing.

Gates Tomorrow was founded in Hershey at a fundraiser to benefit a mini-THON fundraiser and they’ve been jamming together ever since. The band led off with “Johnny B. Good” and kept with the dancing theme with a great performance of “Slide” by the Goo Goo Dolls that had everyone moving back and forth.

It’s hard to get a bad crowd reaction from any “Don’t Stop Believing” cove but Gates Tomorrow went above and beyond by offering a great, unique female vocalist version.

Although it was a short set, it was a great way to fill time during the All-U Hour, which is still going on now.

THON - The IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon (THON), the most ubiquitous event on campus, has been in existence since 1973. THON currently benefits the Four Diamonds Fund at the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center Children’s Hospital and has raised over $100,000,000 since its inception. Read more
