Local women part of Alabama Color Guard and Crimsonettes

When the Crimson Tide plays its kickoff game in September, several local women will be on the field as part of the University of Alabama’s Million Dollar Band.

Spain Park High School graduate Emily Jackson and Chelsea High School graduate Katie Rose are both freshmen at Alabama and made the university’s color guard roster at its April 25 tryouts. They will be joining third-year color guard Catherine Darby, from Oak Mountain High School, and fourth-year color guard Noel Posey, from Hoover High School. Darby and Posey are both seniors at Alabama.

Junior Courtney Carter, another Chelsea High School graduate, will also be returning for her third year on the Crimsonette team.

The color guard and Crimsonettes will perform at the first Alabama game on Sept. 5 at the Dallas Cowboys stadium in Arlington, Texas.
