troon8 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) It looks like an eight year old drew it. Eight...Hmm, 8 years before 2014 was 2006. According to Wikipedia, 2006 was designated the International Year of Deserts and Desertification. Deserts...like desserts. Contrast that with the fish and water motif. The 2.0...the two worst desserts in the world are both fish based (Bananas Flounder and Tiramisalmon.) Yet there are THREE fish! The third fish must represent the addition of some previously unknown Super Sea Life Dessert...like Lemon Meringue Octopie. And YES! The design as a whole does closely resemble an Octopus! This means that Cadets next year are switching to eight valve bugles in the key of C! Like, the sea, where octopi live! Forget Einstein and E=MC2...there is TRUE genius at work here!!!

ChuckH Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Ah -- but don't be so quick to dismiss the math. Any mention of tentacles will inevitably lead to Cthulhu. Which itself could lead to ideas for a musical tribute to the city of R'lyeh, where the angles are all wrong. But wait! Would it be the angles that are all wrong, or the ANGELS? And if it's the angels that are wrong, does that mean the demons will be right this time? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garfield Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Clear as a bell. The single green vertical line is actually a Festivus pole. The angled green lines, and the maroon chevrons, actually represent the outreaching supporting arms of the staff and the corps. The fish represent Georges desire to move the corps to New Orleans, LA (represented by the "bowl") because there he believes the off-shore oil rigs are actually massive Festivus monuments (with wrestling decks decorated as helipads). He intends to negotiate new facilities for The Cadets by challenging all high school music directors to a demonstration of Feats of Strength. The winner gets the school. The following is taken from a newspaper interview done by George Hopkins and his father, discussing the popularity brought to the holiday by the sitcom, Seinfeld: "It was entirely more peculiar than on the Seinfeld show," the younger Mr. Hopkins said from the set of the drum and bugle corps "The Cadets" where he is now supreme commander. There was never a pole, but there were airings of grievances into a tape recorder and wrestling matches between George and his two brothers, among other rites. "There was a clock in a bag," said Mr. Hopkins, 52, adding that he does not know what it symbolized. "Most of the Festivi had a theme," he said. "One was, `Is there a light at the end of the tunnel?' Another was, `Too easily made glad?' " His father, a former editor at Reader's Digest, said the first Festivus took place in February 1966, before any of his children were born, as a celebration of the anniversary of his first date with his wife, Deborah. The word "Festivus" just popped into his head, he said from his home in Chappaqua, N.Y. The holiday evolved during the 1970's, when the elder Mr. Hopkins, sitting on the sidelines pretending to supervise his drum and bugle corps, began doing research for his book "Stolen Lightning" (Vintage 1983), a work of sociology that explores the ways people use cults, astrology and the paranormal as a defense against social pressures.

Sideways Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I've seen people suggest half jokingly half serious that the show won't have a point. (haha get it?) As for me personally, I got nothing. No idea what it could be. That was this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
normy diploome Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I am told that the logo on the Cadets FB has been amended again, perhaps to keep us guessing and discussing.Though Cadets did win the 2013 Sanford, I note that the WGI class previously mentioned by a poster is PIO, now PIW. I wonder if this will be a group similar to Cavies' Green Thunder or SCVC's or BDB's for C2 types? or will it be for the more experienced from schools that don't have their own program. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
