Flash of Crimson update 9/7/25
Greetings!
We had a hugely successful Saturday camp and I’m VERY proud of how hard the kids worked! It was very hot and they did a great job of learning drill and putting it with the music!
Thanks to our parents that fed us, led by Scott Mulcay and the prop parents led by Tim Boyd were amazing! The show is starting to come together and that’s exciting!
I was sad that we didn’t get to do a marching performance for the families, but I think everyone enjoyed the Family night that we had. The weather has not been our friend this season for sure.

Away Game vs. Alpharetta.
For the September 19th Game at Alpharetta HS, we will NOT be performing at Halftime. It is their Homecoming, so they’ll have Homecoming festivities going on at Halftime. We’ll be playing in the stands for that game and we’ll give the kids Halftime off of their break
I’ll have more details on the Alpharetta Game next week!
We do NOT have any rehearsals during Fall Break. I’ll be on vacation, so I will probably not be checking my email that week :) Just a heads-up!
