The Series

The Athens Awesome Athletic Multi Adventure series is a group of 12, 2-stage multicaches set up to highlight sports in Athens. Of course, when we talk about sports in Athens, we are talking about the University of Georgia (UGA)! The series is the work of poeanne, Pitty Pat, and GeoMonkeyTiger!.

Each multicache will feature a particular sport at UGA. The first stage of each multicache will take you someplace important to that sport. You will need to observe the area to answer the question posed on the cache page. Enter your answer into Certitude. Your reward for the correct answer will be the coordinates to the final as well as 1/12th of the code you will need to enter to unlock the coordinates for GC9PWQJ - 13- Athens Awesome Athletic Multi Adventure BONUS!

The finals for this series are a relatively short distance away and fairly close together. It may make sense to gather the stage 1 requirements for all the caches in the series before heading to the stage 2 locations.

There is some information about each sport on its corresponding cache page.

The entire series can be completed in a few hours. Each cache features a virtual stage 1 and a physical find at stage 2.

The Sport - Redcoat Marching Band 🎺

Originally called The Dixie Redcoat Marching Band, the University of Georgia Marching Band started in 1905 as part of the UGA Military Department, with 20 military cadets. The band's first non-military performance was at the 1906 Georgia-Clemson baseball game.

In 1955, the Redcoat Band was formed. With the arrival of the Danczes, the band began to grow in size and perform more elaborate halftime shows. The Redcoats began the 1980s as the marching band of the national football champions. During the 1990s, the band began focusing more on "corps" style marching, a format influenced by the major drum and bugle corps of which many Redcoats are members. In 1995, the Redcoats were outfitted in the first new uniforms in several decades, with a new logo.

The Redcoat Band pregame show incorporates various aspects of Georgia's football history and culture. The show starts with the band saluting three sides of the stadium with "Go Dawgs", followed by a Georgia spellout. The band then approaches midfield as it plays "Let's Go Dawgs". As the band forms the Arch, a symbol of the university and of the state of Georgia, they play Georgia's rally song "Glory, Glory".
