The Haygoods have been performing in the state for the last 32 years. They currently perform at the Clay Cooper Theatre in Branson. They reportedly received the invite after the Kansas City Chiefs Cheerleaders made a scheduled appearance in town, according to Branson Globe. Let's hope the iconic hometown band brings good luck to Patrick Mahomes & Co. who are hoping to get to 2-0.
