This week, we continue our look at the ladies who coach and guide the ladies on the sidelines with Jaclyn of the Bandettes. In truth, Jaclyn isn't officially a coach or assistant coach or anything like that, but ever since leaving the squad in the middle of the 2006 season due to conflicts with work, she's stuck around, assisting in gameday operations for the NLL's premier dance team, the Buffalo Bandettes. It's probably fitting that she's not going anywhere. She's been involved with professional cheerleading since 2002, when she was one of the Buffalo Bombshells cheering on the Buffalo Destroyers Arena Football League team. She joined up with the Bandettes in 2003 (and was still with the Bombshells that final year of their existence as well) and spent 3 1/2 seasons dancing with the squad. Jaclyn is a Buffalonian 100% as she chooses to stay here partly because of (not despite) the crazy weather and unexpected changes in seasons. While she might be out of the dance spotlight from now on, we can hope she continues in her unofficial role with the Bandettes for as long as possible. Check the files section of the webgroup for a look back at Jaclyn over the years...from her time as a Bombshell all the way through this season.
