The function of the Mountain Dew Reds Crew is to perform choreographed dance routines both pregame (on the field) and in-game (on the dugout). In addition to dancing, the Mountain Dew Reds Crew participates in our in-game promotions, delivering the Reds Birthday Packages, distributing Pepsi Victory Balls after select Reds games and visiting groups and special guests during the game.
