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.

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.
