NanciD Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 For Immediate Release:The New York Skyliners have announced that they will not field a competitive corps this summer, but will compete as a Mini-Corps at the DCA Championships over Labor Day Weekend. The corps invites anyone who is interested in performing with the NY Skyliners' Mini-Corps (brass with a small drumline/drum set player) to send an email to Harry Eldridge, Sr. at skydirector07@verizon.net by July 1st. The email should contain your name, phone/cell number, email address, and information about what instrument you play. Please include alternates as appropriate (such as Soprano 1/Mellophone 1 for example.) Once the line is set, you will receive music and MIDI files from the Skyliners and we will be in touch. Rehearsals for the mini-corps start on Sunday, July 8th. They will be held every other Sunday in July and every Sunday in August. The rehearsal dates are July 8th and 22nd; August 5th, 12th, 19th, and 26th from 10:00am until 4:00pm at the Dover American Legion Post #27, 2 Legion PLace in Dover, NJ. Currently the plan is to compete at the mini-corps competition on Friday, August 31st in Rochester, NY. However, the mini-corps may accept offers to perform in August prior to Finals weekend. This will depend upon members' schedules. For those who considered coming down to the Skyliners, who were on the fence, or who are still looking for a competitive, entertaining, and fun DCA experience - check your calendar! Contact us ASAP, spend a few Sundays playing with us, and join the New York Skyliners Mini-Corps as they take the stage in Rochester! How absolutely depressing. I miss you already. I wish you all the best for 2008 and beyond! Meanwhile.... can't wait to see the Mini-Corps rip it up at DCA!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FPonzo Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 And somewhere just down the road, cheers are ringing out, I'm sure.Mission accomplished. :feednotroll: Not for nothing Geoff, but was that really necessary??? <**> Think of how your words will effect the many people involved before you write. This was really uncalled for!!! The Skyliners, who have been a mainstay in DCA since it's inception, and not fielding a corps this year is definitely most unfortunate. I have alot of good friends there, as well as their Alumni, and I would like to wish them nothing buy the best of luck in the future. DCA does not need another corps folding!!! Good luck Sky!!! See you on the stage in Rochester!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
