Buffalo Jill of The Week Lindsey

This week, we take a look at 4th year vet Lindsey as our Buffalo Jill of The Week. Unfortunately, her incredible smile has been absent from the sidelines the last few months but she came into the season as Lisa's co-captain, joining the girl who brought her onto the squad. Longtime friends, Lindsey used to come to Jills events to support Lisa before joining her herself. Her bright smile could be found while dancing between Shelby G and Natalie. Lindsey has had a pretty solid career with the Jills and even performed while injured, a hamstring pull her rookie season that kept her out of some of the larger performances. Thankfully, she was able to perform in the largest show of her career, the halftime performance in Toronto with Hinder. Working as a fundraiser for a local charity organization, she's recently returned to school for her Master's degree...where she's likely got all her male classmates wishing they could trade places with her longtime boyfriend, who besides having Lindsey, beautiful inside and out, on his arm, became a successful businessman at a pretty young age. With Lindsey's marketing skills, the sky is the limit for the two of them. See all of Lindsey's pics at https://buffaloprocheerbuffalojills.shutterfly.com/jillsindividualpics/6844 Lindsey's secondary photo comes from the Bills Opener against the Pats. Shown performing late in the 1st quarter are Natalie, Lindsey, and Allysha.

From the Bandettes comes an edited photo with a pic from last year's Open Practice and from this year's Open Scrimmage. In a photo that shows off the class and how the Bandettes treat their rookies, we have Stephanie introducing Danielle and getting a picture with her at last year's Open Practice. Danielle paid it forward at this year's Open Scrimmage and posed with rookie Mandy for the camera.

The Bandettes at the Bandits Open Scrimmage

Customarily, the Buffalo Bandits have held an Open Practice each year to give fans a chance to see the team and the Bandettes before the season starts. This year, they did a little more by making it a preseason game against the Philadelphia Wings, the same team they'll be playing host to at the season opener on December 28th. They started it out, after warm-ups, with a performance by the Bandettes. The game then got going rather slowly and by halftime, the Wings had a 12-7 lead. Thankfully the game wasn't over and the Bandits, missing a few of their big-name players, roared back to take a 16-15 win in front of 1,989 devoted fans.
After their pregame performance, the Bandettes that were in attendance split off into two groups and circulated through the crowd. Kirsten's line was closest so I made my way over to greet them and grab a few pics, including rookie Mandy, who Danielle grabbed off to the side for a quick pic of just the two of them, much the same way that Stephanie O grabbed a pic with Danielle last season.

After that, the rest of the line saw me, giving me big smiles, and posing for a photo before they went to greet more fans.

After they went on their way, I watched some more of the game before spotting L.B.'s line. I went over to greet them, with rookie Janelle the new face in the group. I got some big smiles from the group, including Ashley, back with the squad after a season off.

See all the pics at https://buffaloprocheerbuffalobandettes.shutterfly.com/pictures/6476 For those wondering about the size of the squad, several of the girls were unable to attend but the majority of last year's squad did return. We should see the entire squad 3 weeks from tonight when the Bandits face off against the Philadelphia Wings at First Niagara Center.

They'll also be getting set to start working with the Jr Bandettes pretty soon as well. The Buffalo Bandettes will once again be holding their Junior Bandette Dance Camp on January 25 (2-5:00 PM), February 1 (3:30-5:00 PM) & a pre-game performance on February 1 when the Bandits take on  the Toronto Rock at First Niagara Center. This camp is geared for girls aged 7 through 17 years old and costs $80 per girl and includes a Junior Bandette t-shirt.

Buffalo Jill of The Week Emily

This week, we take a look at 4th year vet Emily as our Buffalo Jill of The Week. In her 1st season as a captain after getting named co-captain in 2012, she'll be the longest tenured on the squad assuming she chooses to return in 2014. She finished off last season taking a trip to Tokyo with other NFL cheerleaders and this season, finishes it off in Hawaii after getting named to the Pro Bowl by her squadmates. Sadly, a lot of young ladies, after finishing their cheering days, don't do much as far as dancing afterwards. Emily will be one of those who continues on after having received her Bachelor's in Dance and has plans to open her own studio. Odds are she'll live vicariously through her little sister as well as she considers her to be her best friend and the greatest gift she's ever received. On occasion over the years, I've noticed a rookie or two at tryouts who just seems too good to not make it...and truth be told, I've always been right. In 2010, Emily and Natalie (2010-11) were definite standouts like that and to be honest, watching Emily go from aspiring rookie to Pro Bowler is quite the thrill...because I know she's going to wow everyone in Hawaii with her beauty, inside and out. You can see all of Emily's pics at https://buffaloprocheerbuffalojills.shutterfly.com/jillsindividualpics/6546 Emily's secondary photo comes from the Bills' Opener against New England. Shown coming off the field at the end of the game are Jayanti, Hayley, and Emily.

From the Bandettes comes a photo from the February game against the Rochester Knighthawks. Prior to the game, one line would visit with fans at the pregame party at Cobblestone as well as sell raffle tickets. Shown posing for the photo are Brianna A, Danielle, Lauren K, and Chrissy. See them and the rest of the 2014 Bandettes when the Bandits host the Philadelphia Wings at an Open Scrimmage at First Niagara Center on December 7th!
