jonz311 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 it has nothing to do with drum corps... here's a hint: https://www.wgi.org/administrator_new/events_list_units.php?eventid=509&showid=1218&type=Percussion 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Boo Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) ...what does it mean? It means the show is about the use of artificial fish attractors in ponds and reservoirs. The towers from 2013 will be—just as the trees in the above photo and link—recycled to become Christmas trees that will be "sunk" in a "pond" to attract fish. The corps will thus become fish moving around the former towers. The guard will be the smaller fish, hiding inside the "trees" for protection. The horns will be the larger fish, trying to gobble up the smaller fish. It will look something like this. (Note the drum off to the side.) The battery percussion will be doing interpretive dance during this movement, more than likely Monty Python's "Fish Slapping Dance." I honestly can't imagine any other meaning.

wallace Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Outstanding explanation Mr. Boo! LOL! I'm pretty sure it has to do with the new winter percussion group the Cadets are starting up. Just have them play the Scherzo from this year's show. Nobody will be able to touch them! HA! Also, Hop posted a little blurb about Xcape making an appearance on Queen Latifah's show, too, if I remember correctly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaos001 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 The 12.25 - 2.0 reference scares me. Please...no. It's not like they have any history of bad sequels. *cough* 2006 *cough* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onfirepro Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) I've seen people suggest half jokingly half serious that the show won't have a point. Oh! So it'll be like any other Cadets show. Edited September 20, 2013 by onfirepro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flammaster Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 They are going to play hot cross buns? Why can't they do interesting shows every year instead of every other year? ffs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeD Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Oh SNAP! Cadets have gone indoors! I think it is a pretty natural idea, given that USBands now has a complete winter indoor season available. My gess is that the makeup of the ensemble, and this is 100% guesswork, would be more drawn from C2 than C1 (esp given the geographic makeup of C1), plus any other members they decide to add, who may or may not be part of either...or any...corps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
