Local Drill Team Members Help Rangerettes Celebrate 75th Anniversary

KILGORE — The Kilgore College Rangerettes will share the football field Saturday for a halftime performance with more than 230 high school drill team members in honor of the organization’s 75th anniversary performance. According to a news release, Saturday will mark exactly 75 years to the date of the Rangerettes’ first performance on Sept. 19, 1940. Kickoff versus Trinity Valley Community College is set for 7 p.m. at R.E. St. John Memorial Stadium. KC officials say the Rangerettes pioneered an American art form that 75 years later has inspired a multi-billion dollar dance-drill industry.
