They entire Skyliner family mourns the loss of Gerard Robert “Bob” Holton, President of our Board of Directors.

Mr. Holton was not just an instrumental part of Skyliners history, he was a Drum Corps Hall of Fame Member who had a profound effect across the entire activity.

Born in Bayonne NJ, on August 29, 1935. Bob served our country proudly in the US Army as a First Lieutenant in the Adjutant General Corps. He then went on to be a Director of Credit at Toshiba American. He was a leader and mentor of the St. Andrews Bridgemen and Cranford Patriots Drum Corps, and an adjudicator for Drum Corps Associates. He held several positions with The Skyliners, including Guard Captain, Visual Instructor and designer, Assistant Director and Director. A true innovator, Bob was responsible for breaking down barriers for inclusion in the activity.

His wisdom and guidance can never be replaced, but his presence will forever be felt in everything the Skyliners will ever do.

Our condolences to his wife, Carol, and his entire wonderful family.

We are excited to announce plans for a Skyliners Summer Series of events to be scheduled for the summer of 2021. After carefully considering the options for participating in the DCA Virtual Competitive Season, we have decided instead to spend this summer exploring unique performance opportunities and community events that have not been possible during a normal competitive season. We will also be continuing to develop our “Slaughter” production that was shaping up to be an exciting part of our 75th Anniversary before we had to suspend operations due to pandemic restrictions. We look forward to finally being able to perform this program in the 2022 competition season as we celebrate what will be our 77th Anniversary. If you would like more information about how you can be a part of our proud history, please submit the interest form on our website.
