UA to host drone light show at Friday night homecoming pep rally

The University of Alabama will host a drone light show for fans attending Friday night’s annual homecoming pep rally and bonfire.

The pep rally is being held at 6:30 p.m. CST and the drone show will be held immediately after at 7:30 p.m. CST according to a post on the school’s official social media pages.

According to the university, the show will be actually taking place directly above Bryant-Denny-Stadium and the best viewing will be found directly on the Quad. UA is working with a company known as Pixis in order to put the show on, who have done numerous of these types of events for both NFL and MLB teams.

 

“We invite you and your family to come see this amazing display of Crimson spirit – you don’t want to miss this,” the post states.

Homecoming sounds like it’s going to be a weekend full of fun as per usual in Tuscaloosa with the pep rally and bonfire on Friday night along with the annual parade at 10:00 a.m. on game day before the Crimson Tide take on Missouri at 2:30 p.m. CST.
