The Kilgore College Rangerettes are a precision dance team from Kilgore College, located in Kilgore, Texas. The group was founded in 1939 by Gussie Nell Davis as a way to keep spectators at sports games in their seats during halftime, and has since turned into a world-renowned talent ensemble. The Rangerettes perform at football games for Kilgore College, as well as special events including the Cotton Bowl, presidential inaugurations, and regular performances at NFL pre-game and half-time shows for the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans.
