 It’s never too late to acknowledge ones heroes. John B. Girardi III was destined to become an integral part of New York Skyliner history, from the first time he walked through the door in October 1978, through the 80’s, 90’s, and into the 2000’s. Along with his duet sidekick, George “Sidemouth” Richardson, John handled many of the solos for the corps during his tenure. He is part of a long and memorable list of soloists the Skyliners have had over the many years. Sadly, we lost John way too soon and much too young, at the age of 50, last October 2009.
John started his drum corps career with St. Joseph’s Brigade of Astoria, NY back in 1966, both as a player (until 1978) and then as an instructor (until 1980) and also with Bill’s Boys of Freeport, NY as both a player and instructor from 1976-1980. He joined SKY in the fall of 1978 and was immediately recognized by horn instructor Gus Wilke (RIP) as soloist material, and such began a long and rewarding relationship with the New York Skyliners. As a playing member and soloist through 1996 and also as an instructor from 1992-1996, John became a diamond ring bearer (for 10 consecutive years of service). He was the Skyliner’s Show Coordinator in 1994. After retiring from “active” duty with the field corps, he joined the New York Skyliners Alumni Drum and Bugle Corps and was a playing member, soloist, and instructor from 2000-2003. For his dedication, John was elected to the Skyliner Hall of Fame in 1993. |

 The 76th version of The Cadets was special in every way! With nearly 90 rookies on the field, and a show that once again set trends in the activity, The Cadets displayed joy in their craft with every single performance, and brought fans to their feet from one stadium to the next!
The Cadets moved in a week earlier and spent more than a month a Spring Training in Johnstown, Pa. The Memorial Mass and holiday parades that followed in North Jersey allowed alumni, parents, supporters and fans to start the summer season off right. After The Cadets unique summer season opener in Allentown in mid-June, their Summer Tour took them as far west as Denver, Colo., the Midwest and into Texas and the Southeast. For nearly seven long weeks, fans on the East Coast waited patiently for their beloved Maroon and Gold to return.
