The 1974 Cotton Bowl treated viewers to a scintillating halftime show on network TV. Now 50 years later we all get to relive that moment when the Kilgore Rangerettes and the University of Texas' Showband of the Southwest featuring Big Bertha put on this amazing performance! Frank Glieber provides the commentary. No ownership of this material is claimed.

I love seeing this, when military-style marching was in vogue. A mixture of 6-to-5 and 8-to-5 drills. That's what I did in my high school and college marching band days. And, just think -- these drills were not sketched on a computer. The DCI-style shows so popular for years have never done much for me. If you have other marching band videos from back in the day, please run them.

Wow! This is our very year of being sophomores in this 33rd line. I’ve never seen this. Brings back so many beautiful memories. It was freezing cold that day! Treasure it and thank you for posting for us all to see.

The OG dance drill team. The Rangerettes still perform at the Cotton Bowl today, albeit with canned music instead of the band and at Jerry World rather than Fair Park. All of the bowl games had their own brand of halftime pageantry, from the spectacles of the Orange Bowl to the New Orleans jazz of the Sugar Bowl.

@@retromaven2159 It was freezing~the wind chill was in the teens! We also performed in the Cotton Bowl parade that morning. Someone filmed this halftime for our director, and we watched it once. To my knowledge, no one in our group has seen it in 50 years. I shared this to two of our Rangerette FB pages~there are quite a few that are thrilled to be able to see this now! Thank you again!

Outstanding! Thanks for posting this. What a great halftime show. Do you happen to have the game as well? This is the first Nebraska bowl game I can remember. The Huskers outscored Texas 16-0 in the second half to win 19-3. One of the few football wins Nebraska has against the Longhorns.

This was good and yes it is better than the talking heads rehashing the first half. However, I would rather see the Apache Belles and all of their Dallas Cowboys halftime performances.
