Strike up the band: First AAMU football scrimmage is Aug. 15

NORMAL, Alabama -- Alabama A&M's first football scrimmage of the fall will come with a little more fanfare than the normal scrimmage.

Scheduled for Saturday, the scrimmage will also include a couple of local high school bands who will perform during the practice and at "halftime."

The Bulldogs will hold the scrimmage under controlled game-type conditions at Louis Crews Stadium. It is scheduled to start at 9:30 a.m. and the public is invited.



On Monday, the team held its 11th and 12th practices of the fall with an intense, full-pads morning session and a 7 p.m. session in shells (shoulder pads, shorts and helmets). The evening workout was originally scheduled for the afternoon but was moved because of heat concerns.

The Bulldogs will have one practice Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. (full pads) and return to two-a-days Wednesday at 2 p.m. (shells) and 7:30 p.m. (full pads). They have off Thursday to attend the first day of class and are back at practice Friday at 7 p,m. All practices are open to the public.

Alabama A&M kicks off the season Sept. 5 at the University of Cincinnati.
