Kilgore rangerettes select thirty freshmen

Kilgore – Thirty young women were named the newest members of the world-famous Kilgore College Rangerettes during a closed ceremony June 13 in Dodson Auditorium. The announcement concluded the Rangerettes’ annual tryout week, during which candidates competed for a spot on the renowned dance and drill team. The new Rangerettes are the 87th line. They will join 34 sophomores, making a team of 64. The Rangerettes were the first of their kind, beginning in 1940 as a vision of the late Gussie Nell Davis. The organization created a unique combination of dance moves and precision drills that quickly earned them the reputation not only as the originators of dance/drill teams, but also as the best in the world.

Known for their high kicks and the jump splits, the organization has traveled around the world, entertained millions, and spurred a multi-billion-dollar dance/drill team industry worldwide.
The Rangerettes are under the direction of Dana Blair, director; Shelley Wayne, assistant director, and Angela Aulds, assistant choreographer and dance technician.
The new team will be introduced during ‘Show-Offs,’ with the selection of new Rangerette officers. The event is set for 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 22 in Dodson Auditorium. Admission is free.
