Burke Garrett and the 99ers playing the Federal Way High School prom in 1956.

Burke, age 16 after only one year as a band leader rehearsing the guys - Moose (first chair trumpet at Fife High School), Burke on Tenor Sax, and Ken Fisher Alto - at camp, the home where he grew up.

“Burke Garrett and the 99er's playing for the grand opening of the Federal Way Shopping Center circa 1956. I was 17 at that time.” -Burke

‘Burke, age 18, with his tenor sax and a white dinner jacket he used to buy by the dozens in order to keep everyone suited up.’
