1987 Garfield Cadets Parades and Performances

[WassupBraProductions]

My band director marched baritone this year!

[hmarcbower]

I was there for the finals in 1987... still gives me goosebumps when I listen to the opening number. (I was marching with the Canadian Knights... we finished 28th or something... :) This was an amazing show, and SCV absolutely rocked that year, too.

check out the bushwackers DCA cymbal line simply Fabulous

[mpd1967]

Linda did you know vicky Anderson?

[fsmsg]

I like this show, you guys were pretty good that year. I remember on finals night after we got off the field running to see two of my friends in the drumline perform after winning. This was a good show. Ron had a face of disbelief. LOL

[drumguru718]

perfect percussion score

[Moog167]

There should be more cymbal lines in DCI now.....I just heard some amazing stuff in this vid!

[Inspadave]

I love the first part of the video. You can hear so well Hannum's wonderful writing for cymbals. I'll take this cymbal line over anything from SCV.

[RadioRichie1]

Have the Cadets recovered from the bad reception they received to the show that had the vocal narration? in 2007 was it?

[longfade]

Man, this is great. I've always loved GC's absolutely no-nonsense presentation - just military precision and complete focus and discipline. Nice seeing this obscure footage!

[sbrabson]

What a crack up. The first thing I thought when I saw this was, Jesus, that heat in St. Louis. Glad to see I'm not the only one. Also, remember the runaway corps at Six Flags playing twice as fast as scored. Note Doug's frantic arms in video. Hop was not happy. Thank you, Linda. What a treasure.

[chickenticken]

My teacher was in that drumline :)

[padude64]

where in the hell is Garfield?

[freezn]

garfield, new jersey. now they're cadets of bergen county. still new jersey.

[illBUrFriend]

I'm pretty sure they are just Cadets... o.o

[joshpr]

not from bergen county anymore, they are based in allentown, pa

[cnoble66]

Cahrlie Bailie is aliitle off. it was 123 field temp in St Louis that day and we had a HUGE Lightning stom rage through that night

[neener86]

Yeah, not everyone could perform for finals because of that storm so they had to use the scores from Prelims. Good news for MY corps because we kicked ass in prelims and were flatter than a pancake in finals. Take THAT Dutchboy!

[cnoble66]

I remember a few of us Trippin our Balls off after and wondering why a 150 foot golfball was following us around the park???!!! LMAO

[Jeromeybush]

The golfball part ws just you,bobo.;o)

[Stepfunk3]

I was just wondering if anyone out there has any video or film footage of Garfield 1984 West Side Story show? This is my favorite show from Garfield.

[DarthDarr]

Some obvious rewrites between the Epcot parade and the Finals version we all know and love...

[uglycheif]

Awesome!

[henne2k]

Hey! At first I thought wow pretty modern haircuts for 87, but then I realized cadets always have short hair ;)

Great Stuff!!!

[charliebsn]

I remember it being about 1000 degrees at 6 flags and in St. Louis that summer. The thermometer on the field said it was 118 or so. The glue melted off my shoe. Brutal.We got rained out that night and SCV won the show with their prelim scores.I forgot about the pitchers mound on the 35 yard line. Cool to see the old team in action again. We were pretty good

[dags1966]

I agree. They say they are going back to tradition this year, so I hope to see the orignal uniform come back.

[27thCrown]

I love this version of the uniforms than the present. Color, style, etc

[srtyler]

One of the top 3 drum corps shows ever designed in my opinion. 

Do you have any more videos? especially featuring the drumline?

[srtyler]

I remember seeing the Garfield Cadets in 1987 and they were incredible. This is one of the top 3 shows ever designed in my opinion.

Do you have any more tapes-especially featuring the drumline?

[dags1966]

Nope this is all I have. I was a Soprano player so I don't have much on the drum line.

[ColeeCadet]

This is the lost Linda Hannum tape!! Thanks!
