  1. Glad you got the problem resolved.

    For others who might be having entry problems: it appears that some people have been having a frustrating experience getting into the new on-line Story of The Cadets. Some browsers it seems are a lot fussier than others If you're one of those people, we apologize for the annoyance this has caused you. We suggest that you change the site address by one digit...add a slash (/) on the end. http://www.theholynamecadets.net/

    Hopefully that will work for you. Don't forget to turn on your speakers. Good luck.

  3. Sorry you're having problems with your audio Jim. Audio starts right from the cover page and continues throughout the book until the back cover.

    Is it possible you might have overlooked putting your speakers on? Quite a few people, it seems, didn't realize that there was audio and neglected to turn on their speakers.

    It might have something to do with your server as well, or the age of your computer.

  4. In response to the large number of young people marching this summer who are and will continue to be bus-captives for many hours, we have heard your plea. The on-line book staff of "The Story of The Cadets" is investigating different down-loading options that will permit you to download the book to your hand-held devices. We would very much like to find a mechanism that will work for both the visual and audio, so some time is being invested in narrowing down the possibilities. We will not, however, drag out the process so long that the season is gone before a downloading procedure is available to you.

    Suggestions that might prove helpful will be very much welcome. Please forward them to gjcmedical@aol.com.

    Safe travels and good fortune to all from The Cadets' Alumni.

  7. Sorry to disappoint, but all the contest result information you are looking for (mainly on major contests), can be found in The History of Drum and Bugle Corps, Volume 2, sold by Steve Vickers of Drum Corps World and also by Drum Corps International. The Cadets do not maintain records of contest placements or scores.

  8. To horn and soccer:

    "awesome. is there a way to get it as a pdf or ebook (with or without the audio)? it would be easier to read through offline while on the road. just a thought. "

    ==============================================================

    There are plans for a downloadable version, but I can't give you a time frame just yet.

  9. David Hill just posted a very comprehensive review of the multi-media book "The History of The Cadets" under the DCI Reviews Section of Drum Corps Planet.

    The book itself can be accessed beginning at midnight tonight, June 8th. There is no charge and no required registration of any kind. Just log onto www.theholynamecadets.net anytime after midnight. Enjoy!

  10. The clock is ticking. Only 63 hours more and the life story of The Cadets will be yours to see, hear, and enjoy. There's never been anything like it in drum corps, and it's yours for the taking. No charges of any kind, no registration of any kind required. Be one of the first to read how a small group of boys planted the seeds that grew into a legend. BEGINNING SATURDAY, JUNE 9TH, www.theholynamecadets.net

Just log on to www.theholynamecadets.net and enjoy...but NOT BEFORE JUNE 9TH. It's packed full of stories, photos, audio, and if you're lucky you might catch a whiff of aroma-therapy (not really).

  13. The Cadets and Cadets Alumni would like to join with all who have posted their good wishes for a speedy recovery to Tom in a preceding thread. We would also like to thank him for writing this article while undoubtedly dealing with his serious health issues.

    The January on-line edition of Drum Corps World features a very positive and supportive article on Cadets2 by Tom Peashey, long-time (recently retired) Director of Marketing for Drum Corps Associates (see pages 43-44). You can register for a FREE subscription to Drum Corps World by going to http://www.high-velocity-media.com

    Sincere thanks go to Tom and Steve Vickers of DCW for granting permission to share this article with Cadets2 members, prospective members, Cadet Alumni, parents, instructors, supporters, and others interested in the launch of Cadets2 in 2012. READ THIS ARTICLE...YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID!

  14. The Cadets will be moving on to their 78th year of continuous operation in 2012. They've been fortunate enough to have experienced the "good old days," the more recent past, and modern-era drum corps. During all of those 78 years young men and later young women experienced, and continue to experience, all the life-altering experiences that this historical forum is designed to preserve and celebrate. As an earlier poster suggested, nostalgia for "our time" and "our memories" probably does, at least for some of us, cause us to sometimes overlook the joy of knowing that each Spring a new generation begins to lay the foundation for the memories and nostalgia that they too will look back upon with the feeling of "paradise lost" that all of us who hold our own memories close to our hearts are currently feeling.

    The Church of the Most Holy Name in Garfield, where The Cadets began their journey all those years ago, is currently celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the establishment of their parish. The Cadets are scheduled to participate in the closing event of that anniversary celebration in early June of 2012. For The Cadets the past and the present are proudly intertwined, with some alumni dwelling on "what was," while others focus more on what is yet to come. My personal viewpoint is that we all, Cadets and those we had the honor to share the field of competition with, have been uniquely blessed with memories that can never be tarnished. How fortunate that, as an activity, we have our past, our present, and with each Spring, a new future. I will never forget "my time" and "my memories," but I still feel a surge of excitement as I look forward to each new year. For those who cannot make that leap I understand why, but I wish that you too could continue to build new memories to add to those you already have in your hearts.
