The Jills at the 2012 Buffalo Bills Season Ticket Holder Draft Party

Loren and Emily

Jill and Nicole

Starting in 2009, the Buffalo Bills have been holding draft parties for its most devoted fans, allowing them to come to the stadium and watch the draft together with thousands of other season ticket holders. With the move to the 3-day draft, premium seat holders were given the option of watching the 1st rd at the Fieldhouse while the rest of the season ticket holders got to go in on Friday to see the 2nd and 3rd rds.  The advantage that the season ticket holders get on Friday nights is the chance to see the 1st draft pick introduced to them in person.
A major part of the Draft Party every year is the Buffalo Jills Cheerleaders. In addition to holding court at a booth where they pose for photos and sign autographs, the Jills circulate throughout the Fieldhouse and also put on a dance performance. When I got inside after a small tailgate party (this is Buffalo, where tailgating is a big deal), I helped Amanda V set up just before several other of her squadmates arrived on the scene. Less than 24 hours before, all of these girls, except the captains, were on edge waiting to find out for certain that they'd be returning to the Jills for 2012-13. Before long, there were 11 Buffalo Jills on hand posing for photos with fans and signing autographs. After long-time great ST Ace Steve Tasker took some time to introduce Stephon Gilmore, the Bills' 1st rd pick, to the crowd, it was time for the Jills captains to take the stage, performing first to Shout!, and then the tryout routine to plenty of cheers from the fans.

After the performance, the Jills spread out and after spending some time with Nicole and Jill (getting her strength back after missing last season's action due to injury), I caught up with some of the girls around the Fieldhouse, including when Lisa, Jaclyn (going by Jacki now) and Emily had some fun kicking FGs.

















Afterwards, we took a walk around and we ran into a familiar face...Caity from the 2009 squad, who Val chastised a little bit for not deciding to return to the squad.

Something new this year to the draft party is the chance to get autographs from some of the current players. After we made our way back to the Jills booth, Bills LB Arthur Moats, taking a break from signing autographs in the locker room, stopped by with his wife to get a photo of his daughter with the girls.

In addition to my work with the Jills, I am also a big Bills fan, going into my 17th year with season tickets and one of the big things with the Bills the past few years is the Bills Mafia movement. Just as the Buffalo Pro Cheer Blog is about giving positive support to Buffalo's Pro Cheerleaders, the Bills Mafia is about giving positive support to the Buffalo Bills team and players. The Bills Mafia even gets a share of the credit in bringing LB Nick Barnett and DE Mario Williams to Buffalo, two players who are going to be key contributors to the Bills' success in 2012.

Coming up next for the Jills, they'll be celebrating the finalization of the 2012-13 squad at Bambino Bar and Kitchen at 297 Franklin Street in Buffalo on Thursday night. Come congratulate the rookies and veterans alike!

Bandette of The Week Chrissy

This week, our Bandette of The Week is 2nd year vet Chrissy. It's not my place by any means to give out awards to Jills or Bandettes but if it was, Chrissy would definitely get the Most Improved Award. The fact that she dances on Lauren B's line, who would've won that award last year, is purely coincidental. No, it has nothing to do with her dancing or even her stunning good looks. What it is about is her confidence. In 2011, she was a bit on the shy side...overwhelmed and perhaps a bit intimidated joining the top dance team in the NLL as a rookie and surrounded by several squadmates with extensive experience. I think in her entire rookie season, she probably said about 2 dozen words to me. Imagine my surprise when she came up and gave me a big hug at tryouts last October. With the turnover on the roster since last season and a season under her belt, Chrissy has become a lot more confident and outgoing on the squad. Now she's doing her best to set a strong example to the younger girls. You can read more about Chrissy at http://www.bandits.com/bbio.asp?bandID=Chrissy Chrissy's secondary photo comes from February's game against the Washington Stealth. Prior to the game, the Bandettes were greeting fans as they came up the escalators to the 100 level. Shown posing for the camera are Stephanie G, Chrissy, and Carissa.

Buffalo Jill of The Week Courteney

This week, we take a look at 3rd year vet Courteney as our Buffalo Jill of The Week. One of the most positive-thinking ladies on the squad, she's been spending her time as a valued member of the Jills Ambassador Squad except for 2 games during her Jills career. While she loves getting to meet so many people as an Ambassador, she also likes getting to perform from time to time as well. To satisfy that urge, she joined a pair of huge performances, first at the Toronto halftime show in 2010 and then again in pregame against the Eagles last year alongside about 180 other Jills and alumni. Happily married, Courteney and her husband are practically attached at the hip at times it seems with common interests like field hockey and even work together. They've been married just under 3 years and still act like newlyweds together. Of course knowing the two of them, that's not surprising. They actually seem to feed off one another's positive energy and he's supported her through now 4 years of tryouts and even through learning several dance routines. You can read more about Courteney at http://buffalojills.com/profile.php?PID=11 Courteney's secondary photo comes from the Lot C Tailgate party before the White-out game against the Jets. Shown posing for the camera are Sara, Courteney, and Jessica.

Get Stephanie O to the finals!!

Candace and Stephanie O

It's semi-finals time in the race to be crowned the NLL Girl Of The Year. She won the preliminary round against Candace of the Toronto Rock by over 18,000 votes. She then won in the quarter-finals with a whopping 96% of the vote. Now it's semi-final time and rookie Bandette Stephanie O is going up against a member of the Washington Stealth Dance team the same weekend that the Bandits face the Stealth. Get your votes in and vote often for Stephanie O.

Bills Focus with Christina on Tryouts and a chance to congratulate the 2012 squad!

At 1st cuts on Sunday, 7-year vet Christina, going into her 3rd full season as a captain, filmed some video for BuffaloBills.com talking about the tryout process and had several interviews with Lindsey, Jaclyn, Courteney, and Valerie as well as a number of potential rookies. The video went up live today and you can see it at http://www.buffalobills.com/media-center/videos/Bills-Focus-2012-Buffalo-Jills-Tryouts/ee2b811c-e3ee-4fe3-980b-3ecfa7c3f23d

Finally, when the 1st round of Jills tryouts went public in 2009, I started getting videos of the young ladies auditioning, first of the vets and a few potential rookies. Last year, I went with a video camera in addition to my normal camera and shot video of everyone...although a camera error kept me from getting video of Nicole and Emily. This year, there were no such errors and everyone who auditioned on Sunday got on tape.

Pics and videos from Jills 1st cuts

This is an anxious time in the NFL. Players start reporting to their teams for offseason workouts, the NFL college draft is fast approaching, and NFL Cheerleader tryouts are in full swing. In Buffalo, after workshops have finished up, over 100 young ladies converged on the Healthy Zone Fieldhouse in Orchard Park in an attempt to become part of the 2012-13 Buffalo Jills and cheer on Mario Williams and Nick Barnett as they shut down opposing offenses and give Ryan Fitzpatrick, Fred Jackson, and Stevie Johnson lots of support as they run up the score in the AFC East.

The Jills have been reaching out to their alumni a lot the last few years, recruiting some to dance with them in Toronto in 2010 and over 100 of them to join them for a pregame performance last season. Nowhere is that evidence seen on a regular basis than in tryouts each year. Jills management and the captains can't do it all themselves and several alumni volunteer to help out each year, helping with registration, directing girls to where they need to go and assisting them with preparing for their audition. Some of the alumni helping haven't been with the squad in several years while others, like Amanda F and Keisha, only just retired. After registering with the alumni at the front door I don't know as well, the girls were directed over to submit their bio cards to several more alumni before getting individual photos taken by Jeff and Snjezana Fisher of Fisher Creative Image Photography, the official photographers of the Buffalo Jills.

Kelli interviewing Alyssa

Gina and Amanda V bringing it!

After things got started, Jills choreographer Kelli Wagner of Fusion Dance Studio introduced the Jills captains who then put on a performance before all the girls trying out paraded across the stage to introduce themselves to the judges and the fans. The captains then returned to the stage to show off the tryout routine to everyone in attendance.






























Following that, tryouts progressed pretty quickly. Dancers came out in pairs, introduced themselves and performed to one of three songs. Ambassadors came out in groups of 3 and, after introducing themselves, drew a question for Kelli, acting as emcee for the event, to ask them.

Krystin looking even better than last year

After everyone tried out, they came back on stage in swimsuits to show off their physiques. With calendar shoots coming up next month, everyone needs to be in their best shape and can't wait to get in shape over the summer. Plus the swimsuit modeling gives the girls a chance to show how confidant they are in front of a crowd. Each girl came on stage while Kelli read off a bio card for each girl that they filled out themselves. Some were serious and some, like Jaclyn's, mixed in a bit of humor when she mentioned she liked short skips along the beach while Nicole said long walks. After reading Nicole's bio card, Kelli commented that she and Jaclyn must hang out together. In truth, Jaclyn was talking while working on her bio card about putting that on her card while someone else would mention the long walks.

Congratulations to all those who made it through 1st cuts and best of luck the rest of the week! See the complete list at http://buffalojills.com/news_story.php?ID=8
More than that though, congratulations to all those who even just tried out. It's not easy putting yourself out there like that. There's a lot of girls who want to get on the sidelines in the NFL that won't even try. If you missed the cut, don't let it get you down. There are several girls who have made the Jills who missed it their first tries. There may even end up being a number of rookies this year who missed it before. So keep working at it and give it a shot again next year!

It was fan appreciation night in Banditland for the final home game of the 2012 season and the Bandits showed their fans some real appreciation by putting together their best game in months, putting away their rivals from Rochester by a score of 14-9. When I got there, Lauren B's line was selling lacrosse balls just inside the gates. Each ball was autographed by a member of the Bandits, the entire Bandits team, or an entire other NLL team but you didn't know until you bought it and opened the bag. I'm not big on autographs myself but with the proceeds going to benefit the Bandettes, I had to get one...plus L.B. is pretty hard to say no to. Sadly, even with the win, this may have been the last game of the season for several of the Bandettes as the Bandits will need some help to earn any home games in the playoffs. After rooting against Rochester in Banditland and again next week, the Bandits can earn the #3 seed in the East but will have to root for Rochester in the 1st rd of the playoffs in order to host them for the NLL East Title game. Barring that though, 3rd year vet Stephanie G and 2nd year vet Danielle have decided not to return with Stephanie moving away in the fall and Danielle concentrating on her upcoming nuptials. In addition, Lauren B, Noelle, and Krista have talked about hanging up the poms but I told Lauren that she couldn't retire after I bought the lacrosse ball from her.

Stephanie G, Chrissy, Alicia, and Noelle in action

After heading upstairs, I ran into Kirsten's line, also selling plenty of lacrosse balls as well as posing for lots of photos while I got caught up with the Bandettes' stunning choreographer, Erin Y. Erin's been in the Buffalo Pro Cheer scene since 2003 when she first joined the Buffalo Bombshells and hasn't lost a step or look like she's aged even a day. After the girls headed in to get ready, it was off to the seats to take in the game and get lots and lots of photos.

Normally, the girls head to the locker room late in games to get ready to leave, watching the final seconds tick off while they change. This time, the possible final home game of the season, they joined the players on the field doing a lap around the arena to celebrate the win.

After the games this year, several of the girls join the fans and players at Cobblestone and for this game, all but one of the girls made it and for the first time this season, Krista made an appearance. After looking over some of the videos I took of their performances during the evening, several of the girls posed for photos at what could be their last postgame party together. Hopefully it won't be because in my mind, this was a pretty great grouping of Bandettes this season.

Coming up next, with help, we may have another home game in 3 weeks as the Bandits are now in the playoffs and still have a chance at the #3 seed in the East.
Also, stay tuned as the NLL Girl of The Year competition is in its final stages. The final quarterfinal competition is ongoing and rookie camera ham Stephanie O is waiting for her semi-final matchup in her quest to become the NLL's Girl Of The Year!

Bandette of The Week Chelsea

This week, we feature 3rd year vet Chelsea as our Bandette of The Week. Dancing on Kirsten's line on gamedays, Chelsea used to be known as the squad's biggest camera ham, a spot now belonging to the girl dancing right next to her, Stephanie O. That being said, Chelsea certainly hasn't been a slouch when it comes to getting into pictures, which is obviously a good thing for a photographer to deal with. Soft spoken in nature, she's really big on family and treats the rest of the Bandettes like family. She's the type who's generally pretty happy most of the time and does her best to treat everyone well and make them happy as well. That's something that will serve her well when she finishes getting her degree and pursues her career as a radiology technologist. Speaking from experience, it's not a lot of fun staying still while getting an x-ray so I can see Chelsea being able to help patients relax better before the procedure. You can read more about Chelsea at http://www.bandits.com/bbio.asp?bandID=Chelsea Chelsea's secondary photo comes from the NLL All-Star game. Prior to the game, the Bandettes signed their new posters and handed them out to the fans coming into the game as well as posing for photos. Shown in this photo are the Bandettes' 2 biggest camera hams, Stephanie O and Chelsea.

Pics and video from the Jills Optional Workshop

Steph and Nichole talk to the assembled participants

In preparation for tryouts coming up on Sunday, the Buffalo Jills first held their Open Workshop at the Fieldhouse on Sunday but for those who couldn't make it, in addition to those who just wanted some extra instruction, they held an extra workshop at Gold's Gym in Lancaster. The captains all showed up in matching attire, from their tops and shirts all the way down to their shorts and shoes. After we got set up, a large contingent of young ladies, including several girls who didn't make it to Sunday's workshop, showed up to learn about becoming a Buffalo Jill. In addition to Miranda, who was there Sunday, Rebecca is also thinking about a switch to the dance squad after a successful rookie season on the Ambassador Squad.

captains on stage during the discussion

After everyone filed in, a larger group than was at last year's Optional Workshop, Steph and Nichole went over many of the requirements and expectations of becoming a Buffalo Jill and answered questions from several potential rookies looking to learn all they can to be ready for Sunday and the future.

Christina explains the process to the assembled participants

Kelly and Krystin on "stage"

After the question-and-answer session was over, some more girls who were just there for the dance session showed up and everyone was given a look at how tryouts were going to run. This year, the first part of tryouts will be basically a parade across the stage in which all the young ladies auditioning will go across the stage in their tryout attire. This will allow the judges, and the fans, to get a look at everyone trying out and to give the participants a chance to not only give everyone a great first impression, but help shake off any jitters they may have for the tryout process.

the captains leading the girls through learning the dance

After the run-through was done, the captains got straight to work, leading everyone through stretching exercises before teaching them the dance, first all at once and then, once a nearby room opened up, in two separate groups. Valerie, Lisa, and Emily took about half the girls to the other room while Omarlla, Christina, and Loren stayed in the first room to allow everyone more space to dance. I stuck around in the first room to get lots of pics and some videos of the group that contained most of the returning vets.

Also, after everyone had gone through the routine, Omarlla, Christina, and Loren separated the girls into three groups and led each group through the performance. Videos of each of those performances can be found at http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a375/buffalojills2005/2012/Optional%20Workshop/Practice%20videos/

Finally, I did shoot a little video on Sunday as well. After the girls looking to dance on the sidelines in 2012 learned the routine, the captains put them into 5 separate groups and had them show off what they learned, first with the captains leading them, second on their own, and finally for Steph, Nichole, and the sponsors.

Pics from the 2012 Buffalo Jills Open Workshop

It's that time of year again as NFL Cheerleading squads are working to get girls together to get ready for the 2012 NFL Season. The Buffalo Jills took over the Bills Fieldhouse today where they hold their practices all year long and somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 young women showed up to learn the requirements of becoming a Buffalo Jill and, in the case of those looking to be on the sidelines, learn a routine that they'll be expected to perform next Sunday the 22nd.
To help out, several Buffalo Jills alumni helped with check-ins, CD and Instructional DVD sales, and clothing sales as well as helping with the many sponsors who were on hand for the workshop.

After the girls started rolling in, we saw a lot of familiar faces, a lot more brand new faces, and a few surprises as well. We also saw a lot of potential rookies who missed the cut last year but aren't giving up and hope to join the rank of some impressive ladies who missed the cut the first time only to make the squad later and have strong careers.

Myesha, Gina, Emily, Nicole, Jenny, Krystin, and Jami

After introducing the rookies to the captains and giving them a brief overview of what to expect, dancers went to the back of the Fieldhouse while Steph and Nichole talked more extensively with the Ambassadors.

even while stretching, Lindsey smiles for the camera

I joined the dancers in the back of the Fieldhouse where, after the captains led everyone through some stretching exercises, they split off into 2 groups where Kelli, Omarlla, Lisa, and Loren taught one group and Christina, Val, and Emily worked with the other to teach them the routine until they pulled them all back together to iron out any rough spots and show what they learned.

Afterwards, while the Ambassador hopefuls headed out, the dancers went back up to the front of the Fieldhouse and, after showing off what they had learned to Steph, Nichole, and the sponsors, sat down to learn a lot of what the Ambassador hopefuls had learned.

Coming up next is an Optional Workshop at the Gold's Gym on French Road in Depew. This is for anyone who missed today's workshop or just wants some extra practice and instruction with the captains. It runs from 8:30 til 10:30 and costs $20 for the whole workshop or $10 for info-only and $10 for dance-only. See all the details at http://buffalojills.com/news_story.php?ID=1
Next Sunday, the Bills Fieldhouse will be hosting 1st cuts, open to the public at a cost of $5 per person. The event starts at 1pm and will generally run around 4-5 hours or whenever everyone is done auditioning.
