Redline Express

As the "official" dance team of Illinois State University, the Redline Express proudly performs at all ISU football, basketball and volleyball games. Their season begins in June when they attend weekend camps at ISU. During football season, Redline Express performs at pre-game and during halftime, alongside the Big Red Marching Machine (BRMM).

A lot of what Redline does has to do with the BRMM. Since Redline does a lot of their performances with BRMM they have had the opportunity to participate and perform in parades, Illinois marching band competitions, as well as perform at places like Chicago Bears games and football halftime shows at Illinois and Northwestern. When basketball and volleyball are in season, the dance team performs at halftime and during time outs. In addition, they perform at the Missouri Valley Conference basketball tournaments each year and post-season tournaments if possible.

Each year consists of various performances within the community, along with appearances whenever asked. Redline Express prides themselves on commitment and dedication to this team in order to make Redline the best it can be at representing Illinois State.
