"Golden Girls” are a frontline dance team of the Marching Musical Machine of the Mid—South (M4). These ladies, since 1988, have upheld the tradition of electrifying the crowd with incomparable grace, talent and style . The squad, usually consisting of 8 to 12 dancers, performs at S.W.A.C. football games, Classics, basketball games, marching band contests, and special events along with M4. They can often be seen on B.E.T. during televised performances and some commercials. When these ladies are not performing they have the opportunity to share their dancing and leadership skills during various workshops, camps and clinics held for the public.
