Perkettes a fixture at MGCCC

Since 1952, the Perkettes have danced their way through athletic events at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. Fifty-Six years later, the college’s elite female dance group is still going strong, and a must-see fixture at Gulf Coast football games along with the Band of Gold.

“In January 2007, the first Perkette competition squad was formed,” said Kathleen Braun, Perkette Choreographer. “Members of this elite performing group are selected from the Perkette Dance Team and performed in the Regional Collegiate Championship. We also perform at football halftimes, Christmas and Mardi Gras parades, marching competitions, recruiting functions, basketball games and pep rallies.”
