So happy to hear the Whitewater story from Tom. I was a rookie in SCV and I’d never seen Cadets before so I ran inside to watch. The fall happened right in front of me. I was so green to everything I was just flabbergasted. We heard there were broken ankles. Thankful to know there weren’t. Garfield 84 is the greatest show in DCI history and I will die on that hill!!
@@colinkelly1535 Heh....there was a facebook post about this show a while back that I hadn't seen because I was working....someone -- might've been Eric Sabach -- asked "Where's Sam?"
During my season, I begged and borrowed Discmans to listen to Garfield '84 on the bus. The control and sensitivity of the hornline was indeed amazing, but when they let loose, what a full-throated roar! Though I've only experienced it digitally, it has an immediacy that leaps through the medium and makes it viscerally present even listening forty years later. Thanks to all of you!
Wow, incredible stories and documentation. Thanks Eric for putting this together and thank you to all of the people who ever contributed to the legacy of The Cadets!
Barb was my first boss when I started teaching drum corps. Mr. Klesch is so right about the quality of human she is. I haven't seen seen her in a long, long, long time. I never have had the chance to properly thank her for giving me a shot and giving me as much responsibility as she did when I was still a young, unproven instructor. Knowing she had faith in me was all the motivation I needed back then. I hope our paths cross again someday. Thank you, Barb!
Love this comment! I was fortunate to have her as my horn line instructor with the Cadets in 1989, but as a rookie back then, it was sink or swim and I was drowning half the time - I was surviving day-to-day in fear of being cut so in hindsight, I didn't realize or take the time to soak in her great instruction, except her yelling at me in horn arc every day in regards to my posture, "Eric Deki, 15-45" .... lol. Agree with you, I hope our paths cross again someday, she was/is immensely gifted!
@@clementwaldmann6915 No worries at all! It’s funny you ask, coincidentally Part III is coming out today! Thanks for your support and let me know later what you think! Some people who have pre screened the video have told me it’s the best one of the series!

"I'm not telling them anything, they are Cadets and they will do what they are supposed to do" - thank you Rich.
I love that quote, too!

Thanks Chase! Your comment means a lot to me! This has been a labor of love project for nearly the past year!
Thanks Eric for getting everyone together to recount their memories, 1984 was an exciting summer for the audience to experience The Garfield Cadets!
Thanks Nicole! 1984 Garfield was the year that got me hooked into the activity so it was a pleasure and honor of mine to conduct this interview.
How lucky was I to be part of something so special and amazing - These three years set up the two I was part of 89-90
