A few big news items to share

First off, from the world of Jills alumni, 2009 Jills Ambassador Heather is working with a new website called Pro Player Insiders dedicated to NFL players and their fans. Heather's focus will be cheerleading and she'll have articles up on a weekly basis on the subject as well as interviews with girls from around the league. Check out her column called Leading The Cheer at http://proplayerinsiders.com/category/column/cheerleader/

The current Jills are, of course, getting set for tryouts as young women ages 18 and up are invited to try out for the 2011 squad starting April 10th at the Buffalo Bills Fieldhouse. Get all the details on how to join captains Omarlla, Christina, Valerie, Keisha, Lisa, Laura, Loren, and Natalie on this year's squad at http://buffalojills.net/Article.asp?id=2098800

From the world of the Bandettes, we have 2 special performances coming up with the next two home games. This Saturday, April 2nd, the Bandettes will be joined at halftime by the Jr Bandettes. The Bandettes are working all the way through Saturday afternoon to get them ready for the performance.

The special performance gets big at halftime of the April 16th game as several Buffalo Bandettes alumni will be dancing with the current squad in a performance being put together by former Bandettes coach/former Jills Pro Bowler Erin J. Included among the alumni are 2006-07 Alumnus Amanda F and many members of the Bandettes' original 2000-2001 squad. Back then, both the Bandettes and the Jills were run together and the Bandettes squad was made up primarily of Jills members...so anyone with a 2000-01 Buffalo Jills swimsuit calendar will recognize many of the Bandettes alumni out there with the current squad
