Congrats to Brianna and to Ashley!

First up, congratulations to rookie Bandette Brianna V, who scored a quarterfinal win in the NLL Girl of The Week series. This brunette beauty, who'd love the money that Lea Michelle, her celeb look-a-like, makes, won by over 3500 votes and landed a spot in the semi-finals. Voting opens a week from today!

On the Jills alumni front, Ashley W, who was with the Jills in 2008 and part of 2009, spent the 2012 season as a member of the Carolina TopCats. However, she wasn't just a member of the squad as she was elected Rookie of The Year by her squadmates following the season! Ashley's not leaving it at that as she made it through the tryout process that finished Monday night and is returning to the TopCats for a second season!

See just a snippet of her performing at http://www.panthers.com/media-vault/videos/TopCats_Auditions_Finals/d323fcc8-9d81-45ed-a072-ef355851bf11 She's dancing at about 1:32 into the video.

Congrats to Brianna and Ashley!!

Bandette of The Week Amanda C

This week, we take a look at rookie Ambassador Amanda C as our Buffalo Bandette of The Week. A self-admitted risk-taker, Amanda's not the type of girl to bemoan the results if things don't go exactly as planned. Her biggest strength is making the best of any situation and when she got named as a Bandettes Ambassador instead of a dancer, she made the best of it and even showed some signs of being a bit of a camera ham like Stephanie and Chelsea to an extent. You can read more about Amanda at http://www.bandits.com/bbio.asp?bandID=AmanadaC Amanda's secondary photo comes from the game against the Toronto Rock and was taken while the squad was waiting to head out for pregame. Shown posing for the camera are Amanda T, Amanda C, and Lauren K.

Buffalo Jill of The Week Lindsey V

This week, we take a look at rookie Ambassador Lindsey V as our Buffalo Jill of The Week. A political science and history major in college, she'd love to be either an author or the host of her own show on the History Channel. She's already traveled to Paris so she's got some 1st-hand knowledge of that going for her. You'd have to imagine her trip to Paris was a lot more leisurely than what Jills alum Katherine dealt with in her Amazing Race adventures.You can read more about Lindsey at http://buffalojills.com/profile.php?PID=85 Lindsey's secondary photo is from 1st cuts last April. In this photo, Lindsey is seen selecting a question to answer from Jills choreographer Kelli Wagner.

The Jills at the Buffalo Bills Season Ticket Holder Draft Party

Ashley C, rookie, Melissa, and Gabrielle

It was kind of a last minute decision to go to this year's Draft Party. This year, the Bills had 2 draft parties,  but instead of hosting premium seat holders on Thursday and season ticket holders on Friday, they brought everyone in on Thursday to two different areas. Premium seat holders were allowed into the Fieldhouse for a free buffet, presumably decent beer...lol, and the chance to see Coach Doug Marrone address the fans after the Bills made their selection.  As a season ticket holder, 18 years now, I went to the Jim Kelly Club and was immediately greeted by Kristina and 3 rookie Jills. It was a bit difficult to get any photos right there so I apologize to Kristina, still wearing her beautiful smile, and her squadmates for that.
There was another group of Jills in the Jim Kelly Club as well, populated by 2 rookies and 2 2nd year vets. Ashley and Gabrielle were the vets and while I'm not sure of one rookie's name (Ashley going off her jacket?) the other rookie is an unconventional rookie, having spent the spring of 2012 as a Buffalo Bandette!

Vote for Brianna V!

Stephanie, Brianna V, and Kirsten

It's the 2nd rd of the NLL Girl of The Year tournament and rookie dancer Brianna V, after winning her 1st rd matchup, is in the running going up against Leah from the Colorado Wild Bunch. The proverbial NLL Girl of The Year crown currently resides in Buffalo atop the head of 2nd year camera ham Stephanie O. The Bandits may be out of the playoffs but the Bandettes can still win a championship by the fans voting for the Bandettes' Lea Michelle look-alike often.
So go to http://www.ilindoor.com/2013/04/23/nll-girl-of-the-week-colorados-leah-takes-on-brianna-of-buffalo-in-final-quarterfinal/ and vote for Brianna and keep at it
