And the Tricia Nadoly articles clearly established that the GH assaults were happening at that time (I know several survivors). So, by then management had set the tone allowing such behavior to occur. And, as some in Cadets management in the 2010s said to a later victim- ‘GH will be GH’. Cadets could have stopped it if they had the cajones to. But they didn’t. Reap what has been sown. My favorite all-time show is Appalachian Spring from 1987. I will miss them. I believe GH took over as director in 1983. According to a person I knew who had marched with 27th in 1981 and did not jump ship and march with Garfield, GH used to claim he was the true director from the moment he started with the corps and even though he wasn’t director at the time, he personally recruited George Zingali, Marc Sylvester, and Peggy Twiggs. I’ve also heard GH recruited Zingali who brought the others with him. I haven’t seen this person in many years, and at the time he was not anti GH, so it wasn’t a gossipy conversation, just an observation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be a tough case to make considering it allegedly took place at a New Years Eve party 42 years ago. 42 freaking years ago! Ridiculous and very sad. Wow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they were in some sort of receivership during 83-85 and were able to retire their debts and reclaim the full name after those 3 years. I'm not an attorney, but it seems pretty clear that the judge has ruled if anyone ever comes out with a new corps that uses the identity in any way, they will also become a co-defendant. So Cadets of Memphis... isn't happening 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kingsmen did twice but they were never the same and didn't have a sexual harassment lawsuit hanging over their heads. This is different and permanent for Garfield.

Thanks for the memories, Garfield Cadets... (respectful Snip!, just wanted to reference the post. I certainly share your sentiments my friend. I think you speak for a lot of us. I haven't spoken to you in a while, it's good to know you're still around and kicking. -Dave in West Virginia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HockeyDad Posted April 3 Popular Post Share Posted April 3 I get that people are mad and upset. But the - she got what she wanted - they got their pound of flesh- stuff is ridiculous. What “she wanted”, I’m pretty sure, was to not be sexually molested. And then have to live with the stigma and victim blaming over the past 40 years and even up to this minute. So, yeah, let this be a warning to all those corps that still exist. DFTK. Perhaps this is the message that’s needed. Have you corps received it loud and clear?? 11 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we have left are the memories of the great shows and the tremendous work put forth by the alumni of the corps who gave us so many wonderful performances. It's a sad day in Drum Corps History. 😞 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
