Football Pep Rallies: Venom Dancers Inc. has performed at two football pep rallies this season. The first pep rally in which Venom performed was for the first home game of the season. A large crowd of Rattlers gathered around a stage set up on FAMU's intramural feild and watched several groups perform. Venom's second pep rally appearance was in the FAMU Student Union courtyard.

Rattler Football Home Games: This is the first year Venom Dancers Inc. has made regular appearances at football home games. As the the band played in the stands, we performed a large variety of sideline routines. It may have been quite exhausting, but it was also lots of fun!

The Billy Joe Show: Venom Dancers Inc. danced each week at a pre-football show hosted by Coach Billy Joe. Venom pumped up the FAMU spirit by performing short side line routines.
