This is a singing of Silent Night by DCC with Kelli in the middle!

[McSavaney]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCPFI_rhHp0  I don't know that this has been posted before but it shows the Halloween show with the entrance by DCC which I believe is different and some different moves to this typical show

[MaryWebGirl]

   Pretty random, but Jenna Marbles mentioned MTT in her video last week. She even name-checked Kelli a couple times!

Who are these girls and why didn't they use real cheerleaders? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kt-AU_ob-wg

[caligirl50]

Well, that was painful.  But thanks for posting RazzleberryPie!!

[caligirl50]

Can I just say that I receive the Dallas Star magazine and I sure wish they had a cheerleader column.  They have a cheerleader photo feature in each issue but it's not enough, besides the fact the photos of the girls are usually awful. Why can't this organization hire a decent photographer? The girls are gorgeous but the photos do not capture that. Women read the magazine as well as men.

Kelli, if you or your office read this column, if the DCC could contribute to the magazine, that sure would be swell.  :0] 

[RazzleberryPie]

Well, that was painful.  But thanks for posting RazzleberryPie!!

What exactly was the purpose of it and why is it on the DCCs youtube channels, but has girls who don't look quite polished enough to be real DCC?

[bigskygirl]

This is what I would like to see more of on the show.   

[bk10]

That was a very cool clip. I would like to see more of that as well, but this show is only about making the team. =/

[caligirl50]

That was a great show....I watched the whole 6 parts.  The Cowboys was on episode 2.  It was the best episode.

This talks about the original DCC and has interviews with those who were the DCC

[pink317]

Video quality is so bad I almost dont want to post this.. but here is a rare video of Thunderstuck with Emma as point. Def. up the video quality to 1080 to get the best picture.

A performance video 2010-2011? season     

[caligirl50]

God, how can anyone dance to that song?  I don't even recognize it.  It no beat or rhythm!!!

[RazzleberryPie]

God, how can anyone dance to that song?  I don't even recognize it.  It no beat or rhythm!!!

That would be hard to dance to, especially with stadium acoustics being so hard to decipher. I know sometimes they have a cymbal that follows the kickline beat so they can keep on beat. Kickline definitely seems to matter more than anything, but that makes sense.

 

BTW - the camera guys really picked up Nicole quite a bit - which is totally understandable. If it were here rookie year, that's a credit to her. She definitely has a look that distinguishes her and is a good performer. I actually think she may be the prettiest DCC since I started watching the show and paying attention. 

[pink317]

The pregame songs (before Thunderstruck) never made any sense IMO, just appeared random and the choreo didn't match. Thunderstruck seems more of a complete "thought" if that makes sense?

[caligirl50]

I feel for these girls sometimes when it comes to the song choices that are made.  Music is everything for me to get the energy and enthusiasm needed to perform.  The Christmas music and when the girls perform with a musical act seem the hardest as many times the music is not dance music.

[mmm]

I disagree i think thunder struck is the best feature dance they ever did , it's a classic rock song and it will hype you up and in the lyrics they mention texas "we hit the town ,Went through to Texas, yeah Texas, and we had some fun"

[caligirl50]

mmm- that is what Pink317 is saying...Thunderstruck is the best game opening song they have ever had.

[caligirl50]

Making The Team Season 9 is airing now on Logo. This morning was season 8...I think the do this every year on Super Bowl day.

Video at the Detroit Lions Playoff Game    

[iloveit]

This video of the 2002 tryouts....I cannot believe that the girl at the beginning makes it to training camp...

 

[MrsEVH]

I was looking a the 2002 squad picture and the names being announced. The girl dancing the beginning #74 Melissa Gerbel (sp?) isn't listed on that picture so maybe she was cut from TC. There is one blonde girl in the 3rd row listed as "left squad". It could be her because there's no Melissa listed or could be someone else..

Your link takes me to the main youtube page.   Here is another link    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=co6Xkw65il0

[pink317]

Its a mobile link..will only work on mobile (im on my tablet), thx for the reg link. :)

[caligirl50]

It worked on my laptop.

This is exactly what I am talking about.  This is not a dance song, yet the girls have to perform.  I find it awkward.  The girls really prove how professional they are that they make a dance work when it shouldn't.

[bigskygirl]

I agree with the awkward part. To me, the routine looks like the same type of performance rehash over and over again, but this time to a country song on a small stage with the singer. I can picture Judy worrying about the size of the stage, and the girls not being able to understand the count in relation to the music.

[pink317]

Disagree.  I think they did a great job and the routine was fitting..yes there were parts of Thunderstruck, Loud, and quarter changes re-purposed but they dont seem to want to move past those 10 year old moves. Blake specifically wanted to do Hillbilly Bone with them and it looks great to me.

[Preity]

I also thought it looked akward somehow, not bad, just out of place or something. They have great dancers, so why don't they so something a little different for those kinds of performances? What they do works really well in the stadium, but for a show like that I would try to find some different moves.

[LadyMsJay]

I think we can just expect that "new" choreo is just repurposed and reused moves from older dances and routines. That performance wasn't really surprising..

[bigskygirl]

1996 interview with Kelli, and Judy is actually working with the girls.     http://www.texasarchive.org/library/index.php?title=2013_04791

[MaryWebGirl]

Interesting that they used to audition in heels!

[caligirl50]

Judy was teaching the girls....this is so dated but great!

I wish they were still allowed to perform for the troops.

[ClosetBachJunkie]

Wait, they don't do shows for the troops anymore?  I kind of thought that was the whole point of the USO tour.

[cashandprizes]

Haven't performed on their last two Christmas tours.

[LadyMsJay]

Haven't performed on their last two Christmas tours.

 

..does that mean they aren't "allowed?"

[lah715]

Not sure if this is posting .... I'm a newbie on the boards - looking for the name of the song used in season 7 episode 2 for the second night of practice  - some of the lyrics are "we were meant to be magical"  Thanks!

[Preity]

At what point exactly in the episode is that song played? I couldn't find it just going through it real quick

[bigskygirl]

Welcome lah715   I tried to figure out the title of the song, but I could not.

[Dopeydwarf]

Hi iah715! I went through the seasons early last year, much like you are doing. I love many of the DCC songs too, and it took be a while to find them (with help :)  ).  Knowing that feeling, i went back and rewatched this episode, and found  your song:

Also i wanted to tell you that part of season 7 Episode 1 is missing from CMT--it's the part where they do the final auditions.  I went to Itunes an downloaded that particular episode for  @ 2 dollars. 

 

One of the songs that someone helped me find from another season, (the one when Mackenzie was a rookie ) was this song.  i loved it, and here it is (they played a bit of it in Season 7 episode 2 :

Thank you!  I have been trying to figure out that song for a couple of weeks now ... yay!

Article from a dad whose daughter is trying out:

[caligirl50]

Dopeydwarf - thanks for posting...it made me tear up a little. What a great dad.

[iloveit]

I liked the beginning of the article but he kind of lost me in the end because he seemed to be saying that he would be more upset if his daughter missed a Cowboys trivia question than if 1) she didn't know basic civics and American figures and 2) if a gross dude fan oogled her.

Former DCC becomes a doctor. Kelli is in the video for a few seconds.    http://ultimatecheerleaders.com/2015/03/frisco-doctor-is-former-cowboys-cheerleader/
