The latest extravaganza by East Texas' Kilgore College's Rangerettes dance squad is all about libraries. Yes, "Lost in the Library" combines a love of good books and quiet contemplation with high kicks and jazz hands. (Tickets are on sale now via email, if you're lucky enough to be in the area; performances run through April 12.)I'm dying to know what this show looks like. If video of this year's book-themed dance show goes online, I swear I'll find it for you. Meanwhile, here are the girls at a recent halftime show.
And this bonus bit of Rangerette lore, from the troupe's history page:
"In 1939 the Kilgore College Dean, Dr. B.E. Masters, decided that the college needed an organization that would attract young women to the college and keep people in their seats during football game halftimes. His goal of equalizing the male/female student ratio had a secondary benefit - the folks would stay in the stands during halftime instead of sipping improper beverages under them."
