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 well as answer some questions to see how they would handle thinking on their feet...for when they talk to fans at games and appearances. Going off of what I saw on Saturday, it had to have been a tough call for the judges to select just 15 girls as everyone seemed to pick up the routine pretty well before they left.
