Our first entry for this summer's Photos of The Week series features the Jills alumnus who was perhaps most responsible for this site's creation. Julie P spent the 1997-2002 seasons cheering on the sidelines at Rich/Ralph Wilson Stadium including some time as a captain. Well-spoken and classy, Julie set an example on how to behave as a Jill and how to treat people as a person. During the 2001 season, the Bills' website did their own version of the Jill of The Week series and after selecting one, fans could submit questions to them. One question asked Julie how the girls kept their spirits up during a rough season and this was her response: "When things are bad, that is usually when people refer to us. We have more eyes and attention on us when the team is not doing well. It is easy to smile when the fans are smiling back at you and are enjoying the game and having fun with the Jills." Last year, Julie made a brief return to the sidelines when the Jills called in over 100 alumni to join the 2011 squad for a special pregame performance before the Eagles game.

This week's photo from the Bandettes comes from the 1st Annual Dance Fair and Expo where both the Bandettes and the Jills were on hand to perform. Shown posing for a photo are Chrissy, Beth, and Jessica. Chrissy and Jessica both finished up their 2nd seasons on the Bandettes while Beth spent 5 seasons as a Bandette before switching over to the Jills for the 2011 NFL season.
