Cadets Honored, Celebrate At JROTC Banquet

 
The ballroom at the Monarch Hotel in Clackamas was nearly full as Oregon City High School’s Army JROTC program honored its outstanding cadets Saturday night. This formal event featured dinner, a guest speaker and a skit put on by a few of the cadets. After crowning this year’s G.I. Joe and G.I. Jane, they led the first dance of the night to Uncle Kracker’s ‘Smile’ before others joined in.
 
While on their best behavior, this group of students was also ready to party on the dance floor and a mix of current hits with a few classics thrown in, kept a lively pace the entire night. It seemed there were beach balls everywhere and two impromptu limbos broke out.
 
I have to double check, but I believe this event is the longest running on the PRO DJs calendar as we have performed this annually going back to 1998. One constant with these high school kids has been their love for the Hokey Pokey. They request it every year and absolutely love it. Other group dances that went over very well included ‘Cha Cha Slide’, ‘Macarena’, ‘Hoedown Throwdown’ and ‘Cupid Shuffle’.
 
Everyone seemed to have a great time and we appreciate the opportunity to perform again at this special banquet. Thank you Major Thomas and Cadet Tamara Woodward. -Rich
