Celebrating our 60th Anniversary, the N. Y. Skyliners' 2005 production is: Night and Day In NYC. The show will present the sights and sounds of a day in the life of the greatest city in the world. Utilizing the music of some of New York's favorite composers including Leonard Bernstein, Cole Porter, and Dizzy Gillespie, the corps will take the audience on a walking tour of the rich and diverse culture for which the great city is known.

We are currently rehearsing in a state of the art facility - Pocono Mountain H.S. East in Swiftwater, PA, and invite interested brass players, percussionists, and color guard members to stop down at an upcoming rehearsal to see what the excitement is all about.

One thing that I think we have all discovered is that thanks to the Internet & technology & transportation, that drum corps is not just national, but international.

You would be surprised at how many people move into the NY/NJ/PA area and contact corps like the Skyliners once they are on the East Coast. It does not hurt to let people in the activity know what you are doing.

Similarily, on DCP, corps all over the U.S. post even though there is no chance of me being able to join a corps in the Midwest or West Coast. It is still interesting and topical to nkow what is going on.

Thanks.
