KC groups ‘experience’ San Francisco The energetic KC groups kept singing, San Francisco, here we come...” as the heavy plane slowly lifted from the icy Dallas airport bound for the California coast. The Rangerettes, Ranger Band, and Rangerettes Forever were on their way to perform in the halftime show at the East-West Shrine Bowl Football game at Stanford University. Less than 24 hours earlier they had put on a nationally televised show at the 1985 Cotton Bowl Classic. They knew there was much more than the performance to experience. Perhaps it was the beautiful San Francisco Bay, hills and architecture, or maybe the food, diverse ethnic cultures, bowl game, and the Shriners’ generous hospitality excited everyone’s senses and imagination. And of course, there was the Golden Gate Bridge to see and tours to take. But a tour of the Shriners’ Hospital for crippled children made everyone realize the very serious and important reason behind the fund-raising bowl game in which the KC performers now had a part. Most of the East Texas group appeared to enjoy the trip to the west coast, and they and the Shriners thanked each other at the end of the visit with promises to see each other again. These photos present a few images of the scenes amd experiences that the Kilgore College folks won’t soon forget.
