The Season Begins

Our first home game is this upcoming Saturday and we’re getting ready! We have been preparing for many months now, and the time has almost arrived. Once the first game hits, the rest of the season passes so quickly. We want to cherish our time with this team and to enjoy every moment because there is nothing like the rush of being on the field.

Also, we have a little surprise for all of our fans — we have a new touchdown dance! Last year the NFL boycotted our old touchdown song for moral reasons. Now, we’ve got something even better!

Because we are so close to Game Day, we all have to do our homework. It’s almost 9 pm and I just got done practicing my dances at home for our practice tomorrow evening. We always want to be prepared for practice so we can be efficient and make the most of our time. Also, I just listened to several of the songs we’ll be learning new dances to and I’m excited. We have plenty of upbeat, fun songs and I can’t wait to learn the dances that go with them.

Also, look for us in the fitness section of the Denver Post. A reporter and a photographer came to one of our practices last week because they are doing a story about how we stay in shape during the season. Our personal trainer and former cheerleader, Holly Flaherty, came to run a mini workout and then the people from The Post stayed for several hours to watch our practice. At the end of the evening, I heard our coach ask the reporter if it was what he expected, and he replied that it was much more difficult than he had imagined. That goes to show how hard we work during practice.

Hopefully, some of you were able to attend our Calendar Release Party. We had a great turn out and it was wonderful to meet more of the fans. Furthermore, we were able to raise a lot of money for the Susan G. Komen foundation. It was a special night, and I was happy to be a part of it.
