Wow what a find! Vintage 1987 Garfield Cadet videos, starting with a visit to EPCOT!

Since I've had a lot of free time on my hands lately, I've seen this already. It was really cool to see, though. It was an awesome year.

Ya I often forget how awsome those early Cadet years were!

Cadets + Zingali was almost too much!

Did you catch her tour video?

A great view!

Zingali and Sylvester were riots. Marc worked with us when I marched and he was insane....in a good way.

 

[OrlandoMike]

I miss all of those dropped R's!



Some good stuff out of New England back in the day!

Was Aunt Nelle around when you maaached?

I don't believe so. But then again I have the memory of a 96 year-old woman.

Aunt Nelle was a 96 year old woman! Dear God, are you her?

What was that, sonny??? Hold on while I hold up this ear horn up to my good ear.

What is a tuba?

Contra I know, tuba not so much!

Yes, but I used it as an ear horn now.....not back in the 90's. Sadly, I don't think anyone marching today would know what a contra is.

I cant believe the talent the kids have these days!

Watch Phantom take an entire football field and not miss a note!

For God's sake, they are running!

What do you mean? We jazz-ran like that in 93. We might've been off-step most of the time, and we played about half as well as they did in this clip....but still.

Hmmmmm............
Could this be a musical interpretation of Jeff Fiedler leaving the Cavies to be on the staff of a west coast corps?

 

[OrlandoMike]

Someone talk me into going to the Tampa Regional for WGI!

 

[OrlandoMike]

The Cadets' 2005 show drives me nuts (not in a good way).....but they had a pretty amazing hornline that year, didn't they?

The last minute and a half of the '88 Scouts' show is one of my favorite moments in DCI history. Amazing horn line and color guard......but the drum feature is one of my least favorite of all time. It's kinda funny how that works.

I'm just being judgmental tonight because I didn't have any margaritas.

I like/am familiar with a small handful of the guards who are going to be at the Tampa regional. You might want to give it a try. Paradigm used to be from Florida, but I don't think they're around any more. It's a shame.....Their last few years in competition they had really good shows.

Florida seems to be the "new Ohio" as far as WGI is concerned. The last few years they've had several guards that have been making finals and even taking gold in their class (Flanagan High School).

Okay....I need to go to bed.
