The Story: The Dance-Team Mom Who Kidnapped a Kilgore Rangerette

We’re all familiar with helicopter parents, but as staff writer Katy Vine explains, there’s also the lawn mower parent-the type that will “mow you down.”
The world of precision dance is that of intense athleticism and passion, and Kilgore is the heart of it all. But as staff writer Katy Vine discovered, when things don’t go quite as expected, some parents take action into their own hands. For the full tale, read “The Positively True Adventures of the Kilgore Rangerette-Kidnapping Mom.”

My best friend from high school was the captain of our drill team. The way the other girls on the team and their mothers bullied her was just insane. She didn’t end up dancing in college and I think she might have been happier for it.

The rangerettes are amazing no question and lovely of course
My daddy loved them and always watched them on tv events and did the Eisenhower inaugural PARADE with them when he marched with the corps at VMI in 52 I think in DC
