I love this tour. The pictures and description by Glen is wonderful. I wish we were on a double decker bus with him each weekend! I am in Delaware and have been to NY briefly a few times .

Someone should bring back drum & bugle corps! The NY Skyliners were one of the best!

My dad was a lead soprano with the Skyliners from maybe '59-'62, then defected back across the Hudson to the Hawthorne Caballeros for a few years. Dad was a rockstar player. He was actually inducted into the national "Buglers Hall of Fame" about 15 years ago. 😄

I played with the Caballeros in the mid-80's too. And it is still around, just more of a "youth" activity now.

This recording is from 1963 at Carnegie Hall. If I have the years right, which I think I do, Dad's playing some of the solos on this.

If I don't have the years right then he was still playing with the Skyliners that night, which isn't on this video.

But either way he still played at Carnegie Hall. 😉

Back in the 60s we had many in the Capital Region, seemed like every Catholic parish sponsored a group. I was a flag bearer/rifle twirler with a group in Troy NY. They're all history now.
