Ten Reasons Broncos Fans are the NFL’s Best

April 20th, 2013 - 7:46am by cheerleadersOther posts by

Congratulations Broncos fans, you’ve done it again. Your spirit, loyalty and passion for the orange and blue never fails to amaze, and last week’s Mile High Salute to Fans Tour was no exception. I was honored to participate in our Inaugural Salute to Fans Tour (presented by, US Bank) along with several of my fellow cheerleaders, Broncos players, and Miles the Mascot. Together we spent 6-days in the heart of Broncos Country, traveling over 1400 miles and stopping in 20 different Colorado cities. It was an epic experience visiting with thousands of Broncos faithfuls from the mountains to the prairies, and by the end we all came to the same conclusion: Broncos fans are the best in the NFL. Here are 10 reasons why:

10. Record Crowds – Not only has every “non-strike” home game been sold out since 1970, you continue to break your own attendance records at scrimmages, pep-rally events, the cheerleaders’ Calendar Release party and yes, even small town autographs signings on caravan and our inaugural Salute to Fans Tour. The autograph line was wrapped around the block in several locations last week, Delta, CO wins the award for longest line. We love your enthusiasm!

9. You start ‘em young – Most of us would agree that children and babies dressed to the nines in orange and blue are cute enough to steal your heart. We would also agree that they are off the to right start in life by learning from a young age what a stellar football organization looks like in the Broncos. In Las Animas, Colorado, we met a gym full of students who wrote essays on “Why I want to meet the Denver Broncos.” When asked what the subject of their essay was, most of them said sportsmanship and their absolute love for the home team. These young Broncos fans clearly have bright futures ahead of them.

New Experiences as a Cheerleader

February 28th, 2013 - 9:48am by cheerleadersOther posts by

Hi Broncos Country! My name is Kisato and I’m from Tokyo, Japan. This was my first season as a Denver Broncos Cheerleader. I can’t believe it has already been eight months since I came to Colorado. It feels like it was just yesterday. Looking back, I feel like I have really made the most of my time here.

The first thing that surprised me when I came to Colorado was that I needed a car! In Japan, I didn’t drive a car; I always used the subway or bus to go anywhere. I was so nervous to drive a car at first, but now I am finally getting used to it. However, the most difficult aspect of living in America is the language barrier.

I majored in English communication in college, but I have realized that I still have a lot to learn!

Living in Colorado, driving a car, being an NFL cheerleader, all these things were brand new to me. Many people have helped me to get to where I am now, especially my teammates. I’ve grown so much this year, not only as a dancer but also as a person.

Never in a million years did I think I would be an NFL cheerleader for the Denver Broncos. It is an honor to be able to be a member of such an amazing NFL cheerleading team. I had an amazing season with my beautiful teammates. There’s still so much I want to see and do in Colorado and I would like to keep growing. Hopefully I will be a part of DBC again and see everyone next season.

Go Broncos!!
Kisato

Audition Time Almost Here

February 6th, 2013 - 11:33am by cheerleadersOther posts by

The past Denver Broncos season was truly incredible. The AFC West Champions won eleven games in a row to finish the regular season 13-3 and earned the number one seed in the AFC. While on the field the Broncos proved that they are a major force to be reckoned with, off the field Broncos Nation showed its strength and came together “United in Orange”. Although this season left many ofus wanting more, it showed the potential for even greater seasons to come.

Hi, my name is Lindsey and this is my second season as a Denver Broncos Cheerleader. Now that the season has come to an end, I’ve turned my focus to preparing for the 2013 season. Auditions for the 2013-2014 Denver Broncos Cheerleaders are just a few months away, so I thought I’d give a little insight into what it takes to become a Denver Broncos Cheerleader.

Auditions are a week long, but cheerleader hopefuls prepare for months and years in advance. Most cheerleaders have had years of formal cheer and/or dance training. Brushing up on dance skills, getting into top physical shape, practicing public speaking and modeling are among activities that can help prepare candidates.

Hi Broncos Country! On behalf of the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders, I want to thank you for your unwavering support through thick and thin, and especially throughout the 2012 season. You are the reason we are all here! Your enthusiasm and dedication both during games and at events in the community is what makes cheering for the Denver Broncos so remarkable.

And what a remarkable season this was! It marked the 20th Anniversary of the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders and a year full of accomplishments worth celebrating!

To kick off the summer of 2012, we had a record number of campers participate in the Dare to Cheer program, hosted by the Cheerleaders in partnership with the Global Down Syndrome Foundation and Ed McCaffery’s Dare to Play camps.

Cheerleader and Teacher Inspired by Students

January 11th, 2013 - 11:23am by cheerleadersOther posts by

What a HUGE start of the week it has been! The hype of the Broncos playoff game is in the air, the BCS game, premiere of the new Bachelor, Justin Bieber was in town, and I started back to school for the new year! Ok, maybe the last one isn’t as exciting for the rest of you, but it is for me.

For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Heather and this is my third season as a DBC. When I’m not cheering on our beloved Broncos to the Super Bowl, I am in the classroom cheering on my students. I am a special education teacher in Denver and I’m convinced that I have the two best jobs in town.

Hey Broncos Country! My name is Kim, and this is my fifth year as a Denver Broncos Cheerleader. Have you noticed that everywhere you go in Colorado, you see orange? Go to your local bank, restaurant, grocery store, gym, mall, practically anywhere and chances are you will see orange where ever you look. I love it!

Cheerleaders Fuel Passion of Young Girls

January 4th, 2013 - 1:42pm by cheerleadersOther posts by

Hi Broncos Country!! My name is Ashley and this is my first season as a DBC. Over the past few months, I have been blessed with many opportunities to give back to our community. Every Tuesday this season, I have had the privilege of working with our Denver Broncos All Stars. This is a competitive dance team for kids between the ages of 6 to 17 who are looking to compete both locally and nationally.

The girls in this program are coached and trained two to three times a week by myself along with a handful of other current and former DBC. They get to perform at four Broncos games throughout the season and in March we will travel to Austin, TX for the All Stars National Competition! I can’t wait to see how well they do!

Eyes on Lasik

Hello Broncos Country!

My name is Allyson and this is my fourth season as a Denver Broncos Cheerleader. All of us cheerleaders are so excited about another Broncos win, and we can’t wait for playoffs!

A few weeks ago, my teammate Tara and I attended the Denver Broncos viewing party hosted by our 20/20 Institute sponsors! It was such a lovely evening in the West Club at Sports Authority Field. The guests enjoyed live music, food, drinks and an appearance from our Mascot Miles!

We had a great time mingling with recent recipients of the Lasik eye procedure. They could not stop telling us about the life changing procedure. Most of the individuals who had received Lasik had bad vision prior. They all shared that it wasn’t until after Lasik that they realized their quality of life was compromised before the procedure.

Q&A with a Broncos Cheerleader

January 2nd, 2013 - 12:53pm by cheerleadersOther posts by

Happy New Year Broncos Country!

My name is Chelsie, and this is my first season as a Denver Broncos Cheerleader! I am one of three girls on the team from Minnesota and I am loving this season. What better way to bring in the New Year than with a playoff game at Sports Authority Field at Mile High on January 12th!?

During my first year on the team, there have been so many new opportunities I have experienced and memories I will never forget! One of my favorite things about being a Denver Broncos Cheerleader is being able to interact with the fans and make a difference in their lives!

I thought I would write my blog a little differently, and make it more of a Q&A! As a cheerleader, we are always asked so many questions about our job and what it’s like being a cheerleader. I have come up with a few questions that I have been asked most frequently from fans I have met at appearances and during games this season!

Hi Broncos fans! My name is Toni G., and this is my first season as a Denver Broncos Cheerleader.

I moved to Denver this past spring from Minneapolis, Minnesota, and I can honestly say it was the best decision I have ever made! As a Denver Broncos Cheerleader, I’ve found the perfect combination of my two biggest passions in life: dancing and making a difference in the lives of others. Not only do we get to perform at games, but we also have countless opportunities to work in the community at different charities and events.

Recently, I was lucky enough to attend the Holiday Fair at The Gathering Place in Downtown Denver with my fellow DBC, Margaret. The Gathering Place is a daytime drop-in center for women, their children, and transgender individuals who are experiencing homelessness and poverty. They provide meals, housing, and access to a laundry facility, among other services such as mental health counseling and GED preparation.
