TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Former members of The University of Alabama Million Dollar Band and former and current members of the Crimson Tide Cheerleading Squad will reminisce and share their “behind the scenes” experiences of UA football game entertainment during a pre-game presentation Saturday, Nov. 6 at 3 p.m. at the Bryant Conference Center in Tuscaloosa. The presentation is free and open to the public.
The Alabama Crimson Tide football team will play Mississippi State. Kickoff is at 5:30 p.m.
Cornelius Carter, UA professor of dance, will moderate the panel discussion of how hours of rehearsal, choreography, and precision teamwork come together to help create the pageantry that is college football. The presentation is the last of three football season presentations by UA faculty entitled, “A Touch of Class on Game Day.”
Earlier pre-game presentations looked at The Human Genome Project and crime scene investigations by anthropologists.
“A Touch of Class” also offers fans boxed lunches to munch on during the presentation for $10, or $5 for a special children’s lunch. Box lunches will be served from 2 to 3 p.m. Call, toll free, 866/307-3917 to make reservations for the Nov. 6 (Mississippi State) pre-game meal and talk.
The event is sponsored by UA’s College of Arts and Sciences, Bryant Conference Center and the College of Continuing Studies. More information is available at http://www.as.ua.edu/as/. The Bryant Conference Center is located at 240 Bryant Drive, next door to the Bryant Museum.
