The Cadets SPECIAL EVENT for 2026 is scheduled for Saturday Jan 17 2026 @ 3:00pm to attend Calvin University Knights hopefully triumph over Albion College. This event includes free tickets to the game and Cadets participating in a Musical Chairs as a Half-time show. Calvin has requested no more than 10 participants. Since we have 10 clubs, each club can submit 1 Cadet. If not all clubs attend, then the larger clubs can submit another Cadet. Our council will provide prizes for the top 3 Cadets and Calvin is providing prizes for the top 2.

Please have your ticket counts to me no later than Wed Jan 14. Please email the counts to me - ptnagle@hotmail.com.

If your Cadet club is not participating, please let me know that so I'm not contacting you wondering if you're going.

We will be sitting in the same area as we have in the past. I will hand out your tickets by the climbing wall ½ hour prior to the start of the game. Please wear your Cadet uniforms / shirts.

Cadets may take their dad, older brother, uncle, etc. too. I will need your club's final ticket count.

This is a FREE event. Take your Cadets out for an event, buy them a hotdog and pop, and let's enjoy our time together. Arena at Calvin University, (3201 Burton St SE, Grand Rapids 49546).

See you at the game! Patrick Nagle Set up this wonderful Event location at the Van Noord
