Redskins Cheerleader Squad Finalized

Arlington, VA. - The 2007 Washington Redskins Cheerleaders final auditions were held Sunday at the Arlington Cinema Drafthouse. A crowd of approximately 250 people gathered on a windy, wet, Sunday afternoon to see who would round-out the new squad. This was a limited paid admission event, although in years past free to the public.

The show got underway with the introduction of anticipated Captains Tiffani, Courtney, Jamilla, and Tiffany. The girls first came through in evening gowns. Then, after a quick change, they broke off into groups of four and danced routines. After these came a bathing suit segment.

Following the routines the judges were sequestered for close to an hour before the final results were announced. Only 3 returning girls from the 2006 squad did not make the final cut. Kelly N., Ginger and Alexandra. This left approximately 17 spots filled with new girls.

As the girls mingled with friends and family afterwards, you could see the relief and excitement in the eyes of those that they were now members of the 2007 Redskins Cheerleaders squad.

Missing from the finals this year was last years' Pro Bowl representative Kimberly. Also missing were longtime veterans Onya, Christine, Genienne, Jennifer and Lauren, as well as Brittany, Rachel, Tonya and Michae’.

The full squad is expected to be announced in the coming days.
