After the Jills Comedy Show Saturday night, the night was still young and, as luck would have it, a certain Jills alumnus was just about to go onstage with her band just a few blocks away. Buckin Buffalo, a bar on Franklin Street with its own mechanical bull, played host to the Teasers and 2003 Jills alumnus Aimee L Saturday night. Based in Lockport, The Teasers have been rocking Western NY for

One of the big events in Buffalo every year is the Buffalo Jills Comedy Show. The event, which raises money to help the Jills exist, was held at the Tralf Music Hall this year and featured, for a second straight year, master hypnotist Jerry Valley, who's been a featured performer at the Eric County Fair the last 17 years. Last year, several Jills went on stage to be a part of the act but none of

Kirsten's line Even Buffalo's consistent winning team, the Buffalo Bandits, can have an off night as the team dropped to 2-1 on the season with a 13-10 loss to the visiting Philadelphia Wings. Thankfully, the NLL's premier dance team, the Buffalo Bandettes never has an off night as, with the 2012 debut of 2nd year vet Noelle, put on strong performances all night long including a new routine

This week, we take a look at our first rookie as our Buffalo Bandette of The Week. Carissa spends her gamedays on Lauren B's line and the rest of her time working on becoming a French teacher. News like that makes me wish I were born a lot later than I was. I would've taken more than 2 years of French with Carissa as my teacher, I'm sure. Besides her obvious beauty, she is very driven and has a

This week, we take a look at rookie dancer Myesha as our Buffalo Jill of The Week. Spending her gamedays on Omarlla's line between Lisa and Lindsey, Myesha was one of the most advanced dancers among the rookies on the Jills as she and Jenny were the only rookies who performed at the Jills' 9th Annual Golf Tournament. Myesha topped that off by contributing her tumbling abilities to performances

It’s a trip that every cheerleader in the NFL hopes for. Each season one representative from the cheer squad of each NFL club is chosen to participate as a member of the Pro Bowl cheering team at the NFL’s all-star game in late January.

This week, we take a look at 2nd year vet Danielle as our Bandette of The Week. Spending gamedays dancing on Kirsten's line, Danielle has a degree in education and is now working to get another degree, in public relations, this time. Danielle is a perfect fit on the Bandettes because of how close-knit the squad has always been. She loves spending time with the girls on the squad both at and

This week, we take a look at Ambassador Squad captain Keisha as our Buffalo Jill of The Week. In her 5th season on the squad and her 2nd full season as captain, Keisha is the gold standard on being a Jills Ambassador. She not only can carry on a conversation with most anyone on most topics, she frequently starts said conversations, making her very easy to get along with. To show her football

When the Bills and Sabres pretty consistently let the sports fans of Buffalo down, it's great to have a team in town that doesn't. With 4 league titles in 20 seasons, the Buffalo Bandits are consistently one of the top teams in the NLL every season. Likewise, going into their 12th season as the dance squad of the Bandits, the Buffalo Bandettes have long been known as the best in the league and as

This week, we start off the 2012 Buffalo Bandette of The Week series with the longest tenured vet on the roster in captain Kirsten. This will be her 1st season as a full-fledged captain after spending the bulk of last year serving as a co-captain before taking the captain's role late in the season. Besides being the longest-tenured vet, Kirsten also has another big distinction. She's actually

This week, we take a look at rookie dancer Kristina as our Buffalo Jill of The Week. Found on gamedays on Omarlla's line between Omarlla and Emily, being physically fit isn't just her goal, it's a part of her chosen career. She already has a bachelor's degree in Exercise Science and is currently working on her Master's in Nutrition. As far as her actual goals though, beyond her career goals,

The Buffalo Bandettes are proud to announce the annual Buffalo Junior Bandette Cheerleading camp. This year’s clinic will be on March 17, 2012 from 12:30-3:30 PM.

This week, we take a look at rookie dancer Briana as our Buffalo Jill of The Week. Bri was found dancing on Omarlla's line between Lindsey and Lisa this past season and decided to join the Jills when her sister Jessica, who spent the season on the Ambassador Squad, told her she was going to try out. They actually kept their plans secret from their parents til after they made the squad, which

Members of the 2011 Buffalo Jills at the 9th Annual Buffalo Jills Golf Tournament Yeah, we already knew that but now the rest of the world can take notice. The last few weeks, New England Sports Network has been holding online polls on their site to determine the most popular cheerleading squad in the NFL. First the Jills took the AFC East with 71.58% of the vote. The New England Patriots, who

With the Bandits Opener coming up on January 14th at First Niagara Center, it has to be remembered that the Bandettes squad has undergone some major changes since last year. The 18-girl squad was first introduced to the public at the Bandits Open Practice on December 17th as well as at the Meet and Greet that evening. Now you can get to know them a little better as the Bandettes webpage is now

She spent her gamedays on Valerie's line next to Valerie and Gabrielle and after earning her BS in Speech-Language Pathology, she's currently working on her Master's as well. Her future plans are to work with special needs children. The girls are asked a number of interesting questions in their bios including

After a promising start, the Bills' season came off the tracks with a 7-game losing streak that helped cause 3 straight blackouts for the final slate of home games. On Christmas Eve, the Bills played host to the Denver Broncos and clearly remembered some of the cheap shots that happened in the preseason meeting between the two teams as they came out more fired up than they had in weeks.

Alyssa, Krystin, Kelly, and Shannon This week's Buffalo Jill of The Week is rookie Ambassador Squad member Shannon. She's spending her rookie season as a Jill on the Ambassador Squad after graduating university with degrees in psychology and thanatology. Obviously I said university instead of college because Shannon hails from Canada. She's planning on a nursing career working with children,

For the 1st time this season, the Bills held a home game under less-than-ideal weather conditions but for the 7th straight time, sent Bills fans home disappointed. After finishing up at my tailgate party, I started off the rest of my day in the Healthy Zone Fieldhouse were Laura and Alyssa were just getting set to join quizmaster Dennis George with some games with the fans.

With the struggles of the Bills and Sabres in Buffalo in regards to winning consistently, it's nice for the city to have one team they can count on to not only deliver consistent playoff appearances, but the occasional championship as well. The Buffalo Bandits, in their 21st year of existence, held their annual Open Practice on Saturday at the First Niagara Center and introduced the fans to the

Val's had a pretty strong career thus far and is definitely popular with the fans, and those are even the ones who haven't gotten to know her. For a few years, 97Rock held a Take A Jill To The Prom

Spending her gamedays dancing on Valerie's line next to Melissa and Krystin, Loren takes on the responsibilities of being a co-captain this season. This was no big surprise to me in the least that she would get the job, either. At the Jills' Open Practice last November, while Kelli was going over some stuff with

After a 4-game losing streak, with the final 3 of those games being on the road, the Bills returned home to a less-than-sellout crowd on a 50-degree day at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Joining me at this game vs the Tennessee Titans was a friend of a friend. There are 27 dance squads in the NFL and only 2 of those have their own major fan site. This one, the Buffalo Pro Cheer Blog is dedicated to

This week, we take a look at 5th year vet Lisa as our Buffalo Jill of The Week. This season, Lisa is Omarlla's co-captain and can be found on gamedays dancing next to rookies Briana and Myesha. Lisa is one of those girls who can be found at the center of everything without trying to be. That trait has less to do with her beauty than it does with her personality. Besides the fact that she

Unfortunately, she sprained both of her ankles during practice this past summer and has yet to make it back to the sidelines. Thankfully, she's off her crutches and rehabbing and hopes to be back performing soon.

As we've been telling you, a few of the girls who've been a focus on the Buffalo Pro Cheer Blog are in the running to become the new CW23 spokesperson in Buffalo, a role originated by Lydia Dominick and currently held by Allie Hartwick. On Saturday, the five finalists will be at McKinley Mall in Hamburg for the taping of a special to introduce the public to the new CW Star. Among those finalists

Amanda F (2001-03), Rebecca, Shannon, and Jenn (1997-2004) This week, we take a look at Rebecca as our Buffalo Jill of The Week. In her rookie year on the squad, she's spending her time as an ambassador but has also put in a little bit of work as a dancer despite not even tried out for it. At the Uniform Unveiling, the Jills Ambassadors were given the opportunity to join the dancers for one

This week, our Buffalo Jill of The Week should need no introduction to anyone. Omarlla has been on the squad an amazing 12 seasons now and shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Why does she keep doing it? Well, besides the fact that she is just that good that she's able to dance and look great doing so, she does love the Bills and she loves all the experiences she has as a Jill. She

I didn't make it up to Toronto myself this year for the game but I'm not without help when it comes to getting pics. Unfortunately, NFL.com only got 1 sideline shot, but it's a nice one of Omarlla's line in the middle of a routine.

This week, we take a look at 2nd year vet Amanda V as our Buffalo Jill of The Week. Dancing on Christina's line between Beth and Jenny, Amanda is one of those girls who can never just relax. She loves being on the go and staying busy. Given that, it's no big surprise she chose a demanding and hectic career field like the law.Before joining up with the Jills, she was already doing a lot with

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

This week, we take a look at our other unconventional rookie as our Buffalo Jill of The Week. Melissa spent 6 1/2 seasons dancing as a Bandette with the last season as a captain after several as a co-captain. Spending her gamedays dancing on Valerie's line between Val and Loren, she's loving the experiences of being a Jill so far. As a matter of fact, it was working with the Jills last season

This week, we take a look at one of the non-conventional rookies on the Buffalo Jills. Beth may be a rookie when it comes to being on the Jills, but 4 1/2 seasons on the Bandettes makes it hard for me to think of her as a rookie...especially when you consider I've known her and Melissa longer than any current Jill except Omarlla. Found on Christina's line dancing alongside Amanda V, Beth may be

Last Sunday, 180 Buffalo Bills NFL alumni Cheerleaders strut onto the field and performed with pink pom-poms for Breast Cancer Awareness. Our own writer for Studio City Patch was among them being a Buffalo Jill back in 1986 to 1988. The oldest alumni involved was 69 years old. Even though the media only gave it about 10 seconds worth of time, it was a positive experience. Read the rest of

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and in honor of it this year, the Jills put on a HUGE, and I do mean HUGE, pregame performance at the Bills' only home game this month. To help promote breast cancer awareness, the Jills brought in 150 Buffalo Jills alumni spanning 6 decades of Jills cheerleaders to perform for the crowd. In addition, all but 5 of the current Jills Ambassadors joined in as

This week, we take a look at our first rookie as our Buffalo Jill of The Week. Jenny, who dances on Christina's line next to Natalie and Amanda V, has already made her mark on the squad in a few ways. For one, she drives further than anyone else on the squad with her home being in the Syracuse area. I would have to guess she keeps her iPod fully charged to keep her company on that drive. She

On Tuesday, 6th year vet and captain Christina of the Buffalo Jills appeared on National Television Show Anderson Cooper, a new talk show this year whose focus that day was on, among others, Paula Abdul. Christina once met Paula several years ago and got the chance to meet her again on the show. Then, she appeared on Winging It, on CW23 in Buffalo, with a recap of what happened and also talked

CW23, a TV station in Buffalo, has, for the last 4 years or so, had a young woman employed as a spokesperson. The 1st two years, Lydia Dominick filled the role and while in that role, worked with the Jills pretty frequently. She even became kind of an honorary Jill while doing a series on Jills tryouts and now she's co-hosting a talk show on WGRZ-TV. Her replacement, Allie Hartwick is now about

This self-admitted princess says this will be her final season on the squad but I am one of many who hope that won't be the case. That extends to more than just the fans that see her on gamedays. Last season, she took

So far this season, both home Bills games have had rain in the forecast but thankfully, they've both had exceptional weather instead, which made things great for the fans both tailgating and in the stands as well as for the players. It also made things great for the Jills, who didn't have to cover up with ponchos like was expected and could perform all their routines and performances.

Alyssa is an award-winning Ambassador on the squad having won rookie of the year in 2009 and Outstanding Ambassador in 2010. A recent college graduate, she wasn't even sure she'd be able to return to the squad this year depending on her job situation. Thankfully, she's one of Western NY's college grads staying

It was a very warm day in Orchard Park as the Bills played host to the Oakland Raiders after both teams started off the season 1-0.

This season's 1st Jill of The Week is 5th year vet Laura. This season she's the co-captain of the Jills Ambassador Squad, a role that requires her to be a great people person and able to carry on conversations with fans of all ages. Laura's very qualified at that and can talk with guys about things other than football. A lot of that stems from what she does a lot of the time when she's not

The Jills working through their routine before the appearance Obviously the Jills are pretty much occupied with their responsibilities at the Ralph for home games but for away games, they're able to make appearances at places like sports bars and the like to watch the games with the fans.

This year was the 3rd Annual meeting for the Blondes Vs Brunettes series in Buffalo and the fundraising for this event, which is focused on fighting Alzheimer's Disease, not only exceeded what had been raised in previous years, but far surpassed the goals that the organization set for this year. This year, as in years past, several Buffalo Jills alumni played in the game with 3 ladies taking the

Our rookies have all been introduced but to finish up this summer's series, we'll remind you of who the Buffalo Jills captains are for the 2011-12 season. Shown in a photo taken at the Jills Open Workshop are Loren, Valerie, Omarlla, Laura, Christina, Keisha, Lisa, and Natalie. Loren will be co-captain for the Jills' newest captain, Valerie after working with her last year on Omarlla's line.

Beauty Pageants aren't really our focus here but when we have an alumnus involved, we'll definitely give her some notice. Lonna spent the 2008 season as a member of the Buffalo Jills as a dancer on Jamie's line and moved on to the Buffalo Bandettes for a small portion of the 2010 season as well. Unfortunately for the fans, she's been absent from the public eye since leaving the Bandettes which is

Our Buffalo Pro Cheer Photo of The Week comes from last week's Kid's Day preseason game at the Ralph. Prior to heading out for pregame, several of the Jills posed for a few photos under the tarp that covers the tunnel area. Shown in this week's photo are Kelly, Jenny, Gina, and Beth.

A few months ago, we weren't even sure we'd have NFL Football this fall. While NFL teams couldn't do anything player-related in the 3 1/2 month lockout, NFL Cheerleading squads still conducted tryouts and practices to get ready for a season that they hoped would happen. Even without football, squads still have plenty of appearance requests to fill and the girls generally put in more offseason

There are various charitable foundations in Western NY that the Jills come out in support of. The Nathan George Foundation was established in 2009 in memory of a young man beloved by many in Dunkirk, NY who lost his life in a car accident. The purpose of The Nathan George Foundation is to support community & school sports organizations in need within Northern Chautauqua County as well as

This week's Jills photo comes from the recent 9th Annual Buffalo Jills Golf Tournament and features a pair of rookies on the squad as they wait to hand out golf balls to the incoming golfers. Shown here are Beth and Jami.

Today, the Jills held a private party where the girls celebrated the fact that all their hard work in practice was about to be put on the field and find out who made the cover. They shot a video of the announcement and through it, we find out that Jaclyn and Christina will be on the front and back covers of the 2011-2012 Jills Calendar.Congrats to Jaclyn and Christina!

As everyone who reads this site knows, one charity organization that the Jills and their alumni have been heavily involved in the past few years is the Blondes Vs Brunettes football games. The first year it was held in Buffalo, Jills director Stephanie Mateczun was one of 2 Jills alumni that played in the game. Last year, 6 alumni played and there are 8 involved this year.

Living in the Southern Tier, it's pretty rare that I get the chance to get to a smaller Jills appearance, especially as far north as Niagara Falls. Sunday though, after spending time with a Jills alumnus who I became pretty good friends with during her time on the squad, I made it up to the new Buffalo Wild Wings on Military Road where a benefit was being held for KatieLee Crandall.

Living in the Southern Tier of Western NY, it isn't always feasible to catch a lot of the local bands out of Buffalo with most of their performances over an hour and a half away so when a band I know makes it closer, I'm sure to make it out to see them if I can.

In the past four years my life has emulated a roller coaster ride. The peaks have included family time, traveling, making the Buffalo Jills cheerleading squad, interning at Channel 2, getting a 4.0 in college, and traveling. I've bottomed out with two life-changing illnesses, the death of my grandmother, the murder of a friend, the tragic death of a young girl friend, and three young

We finish up our 2010-11 Buffalo Jill of The Week series with the Jills final covergirl Meghan. She spent her season with the Jills on the Ambassador Squad and outsold everyone when it came to calendar sales, even topping what last year's covergirl sold with a month less time in which to sell them.

In 2011, the Bills are again changing their uniforms but the overall response is looking very positive this time. With the NFL and players still engaged in a lockout, Bills players weren't able to help unveil the uniforms this time around so the Bills recruited 6 local

This week's Buffalo Jill of The Week starts off our cover models with blonde beauty Jackie. 3rd year vet Jackie had the back cover of the 2010-2011 Buffalo Jills Calendar with a very sexy shot and a front and back view with a mirror as part of the shot. After originally studying in bio-medical sciences, she switched to dental hygiene and is aiming to become an orthodontist. Most boys develop

As anyone who reads this blog knows, we not only do what we can to support not only Buffalo's pro cheerleaders, but their alumni as well in their more public endeavors. Some of the girls, after the leaving the squad or, in some cases, while on the squad, spend their weekends as singers in local bands. One of those girls who's been active on the Buffalo music scene is 2003 Buffalo Jills alumnus

This week, we take a look at 4th year vet Vincenza as our Buffalo Jill of The Week. After spending her 1st two seasons as an ambassador, Vinny switched to dance in 2009, getting to perform in Canton at the HOF game for her 1st gameday dance action. That was also the season that she, and a few of her squadmates, landed in Maxim with several of their swimsuit shots from that year's calendar.

During the lull between the end of the Bandits season and the beginning of Bills training camp, I'm not getting large amounts of photos taken...usually just a few handfuls taken at a few Jills appearances over the summer. The last few years, I've been utilizing some of that down time to get some other projects done for the Jills and Bandettes. This year, it's been to bring my older pre-2005
