Squad 87: The A&M Flags and Venom Mascots

From dancing with Rattler fans in the stands to crowd-energizing interactions and stunts on the sidelines, Squad '87 brings the game-day excitement to life.

We Love Venom!!

The history of the Rattler runs deep. In 1891, when our school was relocated to Highwood Plantation, located on the highest of seven hills in Tallahassee, the rural landscape was home to an abundance of wildlife, especially rattlesnakes. Their tenacity to strike — and strike and strike again — embodies the resilience, tenacity, and grit inside of each FAMU student.

Meet the Unstoppable Squad '87!

Comprised of the A&M Flags and our dynamic duo, Venom and Lady Venom, this electrifying team doesn’t just perform; they create unforgettable experiences.
