The Skyliners Drum & Bugle Corps is proud to announce the formation of their “Skyliners Performance Ensemble.” This group will perform at parades and other public events, primarily from September through March. The Skyliners Ensemble Staff includes: Joshua Delanuez - General Manager; Rachel E. - Brass Coordinator; and Mike Nederhood - Percussion Coordinator. Performers can be members, non-members, or anyone who wants to help the corps make money. We will set aside a portion of proceeds for people who participate. Funds can go directly to dues or paid to you directly. You make a little money and have some fun performing The Skyliner way. Most parades will be in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Skyliner Ensemble is currently performing in Milton, Pennsylvania on September 16th and in Slatington, Pennsylvania on October 28th. More gigs will be announced. The Skyliners Performance Ensemble is open to all instrumentation, so if you or your friends play a woodwind, they can come and play. We will get music and lyres for horns so there is no memorization. Show up the day of the event, and play off the music. Guard performers are also welcome!
