Kilgore College Rangerettes
The Kilgore College Rangerettes, also known simply as the Rangerettes, are an American dance team from Kilgore College in Kilgore, Texas. The team was created by Gussie Nell Davis in 1939 and debuted on September 12, 1940.
The Rangerettes have performed on four continents, in eleven foreign countries, twenty-three states, and Washington D.C. .〔 They have also performed in 65 Cotton Bowl game halftimes in a row (1951-2015),〔 and they make regular appearances at Dallas Cowboys pre-game and half-time shows, national parades and presidential inaugurations.
==Brief history==
The Kilgore College Rangerettes were founded by Gussie Nell Davis, a physical education instructor from Farmersville, Texas who had previously devised an all-girl's high school drum and bugle corps in Greenville, Texas, called the "Flaming Flashes". In 1939, Miss Davis was hired away from Greenville High School by the Kilgore College Dean, Dr. B.E. Masters. Dr. Masters wanted something different than the traditional women's drum and bugle corps; he wanted something new and unique that would primarily increase female enrollment at the college, but would also keep fans in their seats during football half time shows instead of drinking alcohol and brawling under the stands. Opting early to forgo the use of musical instruments, Davis focused her new team on dance and choreography, later naming the group the Rangerettes. The Rangerettes became a success early on despite criticisms of their uniforms featuring skirts above the knee, which by the 1960s had become much shorter. In 1975 the Houston Contemporary Museum of Art honored her for creating a "living form" of art. Davis served as the group's director for forty years, until 1979, and died in 1993.
