Did I miss a name change? Since when are they officially referred to in print or otherwise as "The Allentown Cadets?" I always thought it went from Holy Name Cadets to Garfield Cadets to Cadets of Bergen County to simply, The Cadets. <shrugs>

If you missed a name change, I did too.  It’s just a newspaper error and the majority of the article was accurate. Maybe the folks in Allentown know them as the Allentown Cadets.

Might not be an official name change. The newspaper is free call them whatever they want to, just like I can still refer to them as "Garfield" (which I still do most of the time).  :)

I am disappointed personally, but I can understand the need for financial responsibility. I was excited to see the Cadets out west this year.

That's too bad, was hoping to see them out west.  I wish all of those performers and musicians a great season.
