Registration is officially open for the 2023 A-Day with the Million Dollar Band. A-Day is Saturday, April 22.
UA says any high school student in grades 9th-12th and MDB Alumni are invited to sit in with the current Million Dollar Band each spring at the annual A-Day spring game presented by the Alabama Football Team.
