The red and white stripes on the flag symbolize Georgia's strong and vibrant character, while the blue canton with the state seal represents the state's proud history and tradition. The live oak branch and cotton plant are significant to Georgia's economy and history, as the state was once a major producer of both commodities.

The state flag of Georgia is a unique and historic design that features three horizontal stripes: two red and one white. In the upper left corner is a blue canton with the state seal in gold. The seal shows three pillars that represent the state's commitment to wisdom, justice, and moderation. A banner below the pillars reads "State of Georgia," and a live oak branch and a cotton plant frame the seal on either side.

The current design of the state flag of Georgia was adopted in 2003, after controversy arose over the previous design that included the Confederate battle emblem. The new design is widely praised for its simplicity and inclusiveness, as it represents all of Georgia's citizens and heritage.

Spotting:  A technique to help dancers maintain a straight line and prevent dizziness while spinning. When turning, the dancer picks a spot and follows it until their turn takes that spot out of sight. They then whip their head around to bring that same spot back into view as quickly as possible. This action is repeated for the duration of turns/spins.

Auxiliary:  Another term for the color guard. This term is often used in the marching band setting to describe the visual ensemble which may include color guard but which also may include other visual performers such as a dance team, baton twirlers or pom poms. The term Auxiliary covers visual ensembles which may or may not include all of these types of visual performers.
