USM’s Dixie Darlings to perform at Saints halftime show

The University of Southern Mississippi’s Dixie Darlings have been invited to perform as part of the DJ Jubilee and Light Balance halftime show on Sunday, October 5, at noon in the New Orleans Superdome.

The entire team, under the direction of Whitney Hudson, will experience an NFL gameday with the Saints and Cheer Krewe.

Recognizing the significance of the opportunity, the leadership of The Pride of Mississippi is rallying behind the Dixie Darlings to help make the trip possible despite the unexpected cost.

“The opportunity was just too great to pass up so everyone is working hard to make this happen,” said Dr. Travis Higa, director of The Pride of Mississippi. “One way or another we are going to do our best to support our students in any way we can.”
