This is from the Facebook of a disgraced former director... *** Just after the summer , I addressed the “word on the street” that the Cadets were relocating to Erie, Pa. I also included that the Blue Devils would be acquiring the Cadets as part of the Blue Devils Pagentry Association . Pretty much the airwaves have been silent I did hear that attendance at the early camps were poor , we have seen the internal adjustments to staff and leadership but … nothing of any substance. Until now …. Attached is the relocation update. It’s interesting that a move 460 miles from the original Garfield , NJ address is not illiciting the commentary and hate my partners and when we moved out offices a short stretch to the Eastern home of DCI ,Allentown , Pa As for the Blue Devils , info is hard to find but such an acquisition would be the ONLY way the Cadets survive . There is no income source . No bands . Limited interest . Minimal Fundraising . As a point of reference the Santa Clara Vanguard closed the doors with a 1.5 million dollar net bingo . The Cadets and YEA! Did have a $400k band program , 300k in corporate assistance —- and more … but now ? Little to nothing . The departure of USBands to the Blue Devils with no known return signals the end of the line … unless there is something dramatic coming ? Merry Christmas to all … And watch for another big shift in the drum corps activity with the New Year *** Was the letter shared on the FB post from The Cadets' Board member Greg Cinzio, sent to current members, alumni, etc, or was it printed from their website? Just curious; there's not a date on the letter. (It has been tri folded to fit in a business envelope.) 🤔 It's obvious from his post that he wants to see them fail. So much narcissism in each & every post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much narcissism in each & every post. Got a circular from group that runs the DCI show in Erie. Lot of info about Cadets having camp in Erie and looking for help/support. Believe Cadets were there last year also but didn’t read too close and don’t have the circular anymore Edited December 25, 2022 by JimF-LowBari 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom56 Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Mr. 'You know who' has posted that the Cadets may move to Erie, Pa and be taken over by System Blue. How's that for a Holiday rumour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
