[edit] History

  • The corps was founded in 1963.
  • Through the early 1970s, the corps was known as the Greece Cadets. However, the corps changed their name in 1975 after a show announcer mistakenly called the corps the "Cadets of Greece." Corps members and management liked the "mistake" so much they adopted the new name.

The Cadets of Greece organization failed to field a competitive corps in 1980. The organization changed leadership and came back on the field for one year in 1981. In 1982, the corps merged briefly with the Patriots organization and fielded Fusion. The two groups separated the following year and the Cadets members merged again with the Gauchos organization in Fulton forming the Cadets of Upstate New York. Subsequent years saw this organization combine with the Firebirds of Fairport, NY to form Northmen.

This organization had a very strong feeder corps as much of the membership grew up as members of the Greece Shoreliner Cadets
