It’s time to celebrate 75 years of Rangerettes dancing in The Cotton Bowl Classic & 85 years of our beloved Rangerettes!
We're thrilled for the world to see almost 800 former Rangerettes and Managers join the current Rangerettes on the field for the pregame performance in January! It's a great honor to be invited by the Cotton Bowl to celebrate 85 years of Rangerettes and 75 years of Rettes dancing in The Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic. We look forward to seeing you in Dallas as we take part in this historic performance event!
