New York Skyliners Alumni Reschedule 2013 Open House
Due to the unfortunate events surrounding hurricane Sandy and the havoc/devastation that followed, The New York Skyliners Alumni Drum & Bugle Corps was forced to postpone our OPEN HOUSE.
We are pleased to announce that the OPEN HOUSE has now been RESCHEDULED !!
The NEW DATE is:
Sunday, January 20, 2013 noon-5pm
VFW MEMORIAL POST 4591
513 VETERANS PLACE, HASBROUCK HEIGHTS, NJ 07604-2423
(201) 288-1112
We invite all prospective members and friends to come and enjoy the day with us and see for yourself what we are all about. The corps is always seeking and welcoming new and/or former members in all sections – brass, percussion, color guard. Anyone who has ever listened to the old recordings from “Back in the Day” knows that distinctive SKYLINER sound, one that only the charts of the great master arranger – the late “HY” Dreitzer, could produce.
If you ever had the desire to be a part of that “sound”, now is your chance. COME AND ENTERTAIN WITH US!
In 2013, SKY will be presenting a fresh and innovative approach with regard to the visual program. A blend of old and new, the traditional with a twist – one that will continue to showcase the Skyliner sound, be all inclusive and more accessible to all our members, while continuing to have an appealing visual flair. Tired of doing a “full drill”? Boy, do we got something for YOU! We can’t let the cat out of the bag just yet, but stay tuned for a future announcement outlining details of THE SHOW !
The music selections for 2013 are:
“Slaughter on 10th Avenue” – from the 80/81 seasons
“Columbia/Hymn to Victory/Longest Day” – a combination of the 71/76 Color Pre
“Summertime” – from the 76 season (and Porgy and Bess)
