The Beginning In the fall of 1992, McNeil High School opened the doors
as RRISD's 3rd high school and the Majestic Dance team was formed under the direction of Mrs. Denise Cochran.
Mrs. Cochran named the team and designed their beautiful field uniform that still exists today. The team
originated with 20 dancers and 2 managers. The original logo for our team was designed by our very first
officer line. Many traditions were formed that very first year that continue today including Mother/Daughter
Tea and Cow Plop lotto.
Currently the Majestics are under the direction of Mrs. Kelley Kosh and Ms. Megan
Winslow. The team consists of 45 dancers and 4 managers.
Standards As a member of Majestics, each young lady must abide by a
certain set of rules and regulations. This high code of conduct includes academic achievement as well as lady
like and appropriate behavior in and out of Majestics.

to sign-up and secure a place for the try-out process. Auditions shall be held
during the Fall semester of the school year.
Auditions Freshman, Sophomores, and
Junior students may audition for the team in the fall. Auditions include jazz,
kick, and lyrical styles of dance, as well as turn, leap, kick, and split technique.
The students will be selected by an independent panel of judges. Once selected,
the students will be placed into a "New Majestic" class for the Spring semester and will
officially step on the team in May.
