Over the weekend, the NLL's premier dance team, the Buffalo Bandettes, held open auditions to fill the 15 spots on the 2012 squad. In total, 41 girls tried out, a slightly higher number than usual as they usually have 30-35. On Saturday, as I already reported, the aspiring Bandettes learned a routine taught by Erin Y and Meghan F. Sunday, they had to perform that routine in front of 5 judges as well as answer some questions to see how they would handle thinking on their feet...for when they talk to fans at games and appearances. Going off of what I saw on Saturday, it had to have been a tough call for the judges to select just 15 girls as everyone seemed to pick up the routine pretty well before they left.

The 2012 squad will be composed of 6 rookies, 5 2nd year vets (Noelle, Chrissy, Krista, Danielle, and Jessica), 3 3rd year vets (Chelsea, Lauren B, and Stephanie) and 1 4th year vet (Kirsten)
In addition to a number of former Bandettes doing the judging, WYRK's Clay Moden was a celebrity judge for tryouts on Sunday and talks about the experience on WYRK's website at http://wyrk.com/buffalo-bandettes-auditionsvideo/
There's even some video up as well
Now begins the really tough task....getting ready for the 2012 Buffalo Bandits season
