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 Ms. Megan Winslow.  The team consists of 40 dancers and 3 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.
