Kilgore College Rangerettes

The Kilgore College Rangerettes, also known simply as the Rangerettes, are the world's first women's precision drill team, from Kilgore College in Kilgore, Texas, United States. They were created by Gussie Nell Davis in 1940. The Rangerettes have performed in 76 Cotton Bowl game halftimes in a row (Jan 1951-Jan 2026), and make regular appearances at NFL pre-game and half-time shows for the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans. The Rangerettes perform at Kilgore College football games, and in many other athletic and special events, including the Cotton Bowl game, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and five presidential inaugurations. They have taken several world tours since the 1970s, including South America, Hong Kong, Macao, South Korea, Romania, France, Canada, Japan, Italy, Switzerland, England, Scotland, and Ireland.
