In 2012, he performed with The Curt Wilson Alumni Jazz Band at The Royal College of Music in London and The American Cemetery at Omaha Beach in Normandy. In 2015, he traveled again with The Curt Wilson Alumni Jazz Band to perform at the prestigious Umbria Jazz Festival in Perugia, Italy, and The Jazz a Juan Festival in Antibes, France. In 2019, Skip returned with the Curt Wilson Alumni Band to perform at the Heineken Jazzaldia Festival in San Sebastián, Spain. Skip was honored as the 2014 inductee into the TCU Band of Fame.
