Encore performances of Rangerette Revels this week
The most famous drill team in the world invites you to come see why this weekend.
The Kilgore College Rangerettes, the creation of Gussie Nell Davis in 1958 and the dream of so many young ladies in the 85 years since, will take the stage at Dodson Auditorium on campus once more this weekend for Rangerette Revels, an annual spring showcase that brings crowds from across the nation.
The show has 22 numbers, many of them choreographed by so many brilliant dance masters, and times out between 90 minutes and two hours.
There are three shows remaining: this Thursday, this Friday and this Saturday, at 7:30 p.m. each night.

There’s also something special going on this summer.
W.L. Dodson Auditorium, the home of so many Rangerette performances and of so many hundreds of things involving Kilgore College and Kilgore High School for decades, is being renovated. And that costs money, obviously.
Donations are being accepted to help fund improvements to the 22,500 square foot facility, built in 1952, and anyone can contact the college for more information.
There’s also the Take Your Seat! campaign, described below from this year’s Revels program.
