All Past Seasons of the Late Lamented Show

re: kaitlyn legrand.  Episode just aired on Pluto. The Reddit site has a thread with disturbing news, dated 8 months ago. I just hope its not true.

Kelly's comment "people get pulled over all the time.." - we all know now how traumatizing, and sad to say sometimes deadly, that can be. 🙏

But I will share good news that also popped up, under that story-Ashlee's special man proposed - posted 20 hrs ago !! Are all of the available young men in Dallas?? Any available old men for the rest of us? 😁

Does  a unmarried/never married former DCC Exist??

Off the top of my head, Kash and Schram to name just two.  Unless one has been married and I've never read about it?

[sATL]

I thought KaShara got married during/shortly after the pandemic shut down. She's engaged, right?

She never got married. I don't know if she ever got engaged, but the last post she has on Insta with a guy who I assume was her bf, was from last summer.

Not sure where we were discussing it but the Season 5 calendar shoot was on Pluto today and Kelli said “everyone that is invited on the calendar shoot has at least one season under their belt with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. The trip is too fast and furious for us to bring…rookies you know the week or month they make the squad, it’s, it’s too much”.

Part of me felt they were being cheap by not inviting rookies. They could be of some help to the vets who are "working" and bond.  More tix and accomdatations for a TCC who make not make the team. they can walk the runway at Belk, but not in Mexico. When they traveled to hall of fame, I.m sure  K& J left instructions for them to have the rehearsal of their lives, so no rest for the weary..

Calendar shoot used to be before auditions, so there were no “brand new just made the team” rookies to take

I think a season or two of MTT edited it with included K&J soundbites to make it look like calendar shoots were at the end of TC. In reality, they have always been in the off-season prior to tryouts.

I've been following the Broncos since Lily made their team and DBC actually does this... like this year they had auditions in late March/early April and then took their entire team (rookies and all) to calendar before starting their rehearsals. IMO that would be such a fun way to be welcomed onto the team and to bond with your teammates

[sATL]

Re: the 3, 4, 5 yr try out ladies, ( cristianna, Brianna, et. al), did they try out and/or make other teams- nba, college, nfl, during all that time?  I understand the 1st audition trip may be just a fact finding tour to see how to better prepare next year.

Yes: no other team in the world has DCC style, but the experience & learning couldn't have hurt..  If the only time they did audition and performances was DCC auditions, then that is a lot of calendar time lost. I would think dancing in a college football stadium filled with 100,000+ people will help the performance and entertaining skills.

I can't remember the names who it was, but there were two college friends, where one made dcc the next year after college, and the other took a year off. When friend #2 came out to try for dcc, they both admitted she wasn't as fast learning dances, anymore.

I think it is commonplace for DCC candidates to try for Allen American Ice Angels and Dallas Ice Stars if they are cut from DCC auditions. Kristin is the most recent DCC I can think of. She was cut from auditions/TC, made the ice angels, then returned and made DCC.

The friend from college storyline you mention was Holly H. Her friend auditioned a year or two after her after taking a break, but she ended up being cut from TC.

Sarah said in an interview she cheered "less than a season". 

There was a girl, Taylor Paige who cheered with Brandi Kilby on the 2010 Laker Girls. She ended leaving the team early on for an acting career. She had a lead role on that VH-1 show Hit The Floor.

I just rewatched part of season 7 (2012) and there was this scene where Kelli walked into the stadium during practice, said she had a big surprise and then said she bought 20 tickets for the vets to go to Mexico to do the photoshoot and that the rookies were to stay and practise.  The disappointment clearly showed on the rookie's faces. I always thought this a bit mean. If she'd only said she wanted to see the veterans because she had a surprise for them? That would have made a huge difference.

Another for the show moment cause the shoot had been done months earlier 

[sATL]

That personality test they did in the season Amy and Maddy were point, I just don't get..

1. they have stated a rookies job is to listen and follow. So that would nullify whatever the test was trying to show
2. the group leader s and their 2nd is based on ability and seniority  - I don't see K&J changing that, because a consultant said so.
3. To assemble the rest of the group members, I'm sure K&J worry more about the strengths of each person ( ie you don't want all of the firecrackers in one group) and stuff like veteran to rookie ratio, height, etc
4. They all have the same job/role - dance, as as a team one team. Those tests seem to make better sense when there is a mix of diff jobs/skillsets within the a team
5. In one the of the conference room sessions, it was the first I heard that they have  only 24 hrs to process the emotional loss when someone is cut. I think it was Bridget who said she needs longer. So if there are "guidelines" on how long to mourn a loss, what's the point of anyone displaying one of the 4 characteristics, as Kelli might change or restrict it?

RE: solo at final audition round

Did the weighing or criteria of the solo performance change, for the better as the seasons went on?

I remember a scene where kitty blasted someone for bringing in an tree to her clinic, that they really didn't utilize into the routine. I kinda feel the same way about some of the "extras".

It was the redhead Emma, I think.  I love how Kitty tears her apart for bringing in the tree prop, saying it "wasted my damn time."  Then Emma goes to finals and Kelli says "how cute is that little tree?!"  It's like the editors were trying to show the disconnect between Kitty and the final auditions

It was Jaime who used the tree prop. She retired from the MDC in 2020 after 3 seasons. She got engaged to a WI guy and they just bought a house there. According to her website she did move her cupcakes business with her.

That was Jordan Daigle, she cheered for 3 seasons (2012-2014). That must've been a one-time occurrence!

Passing deep thought...with the plethora of choreographers we've seen , and haven't seen, no one hasn't developed (or suggested) another entrance dance (the 5 yards with left ball of foot on the line part), that still looks professional, classy, organized, while also being easy to do, learn and teach? Sometimes I wonder if everyone's ( Judy and the TCCs) aggravation is worth the trouble. After so many years, I would be looking to lessen some of the job stresses, where I could. 😁

Traditions are great, but they can be changed too; sometimes for the better, to keep it fresh and current.

I wonder if marching bands directors have as much trouble with field formations.

Jenna was in her sixth season.

Watching the DCC on the field brings back memories. A year of marching band and two years of drill team has me🤨at the screen.  Lines are critical, I get Judy on this. We got from line to line in eight cts.  Peripheral vision helped to keep up with the squad, you didn’t want to be out of line and get called out.  
Those TCC that have been on other NFL squads, I expect them to get the field easier and quicker based on their experience.

I also was a member of marching band for 4 years.  Our director yelled lines, guide, & 8 to 5 meaning 8 steps to 5 yards. I thought I did wonderfully well but was an alternate for a few games my freshman year.  But the WORST marching I ever saw was when I went to what was called a soft indoctrination for the Air Force in 1971.  This was made up of drafted doctors, veterinarians etc and then nurses who volunteered. Those doctors could restart a heart or do lifesaving surgery but couldn’t March to save their souls!  We had to March in formation to the base flagpole for the flag lowering. It was a mess. Plus no n liked saluting or doing all the things that just seemed so alien to our previous life!

Confident I've mentioned this a thousand times but it is such a fond memory - when I was in college our marching band used to warm up for Saturday games in the parking lot behind my apartment. They did Jurassic Park for the field show and every Saturday I'd wake up to the theme song and it was awesome. Our marching band was amazing. #incomparable

Lines for the field entrance seem like they'd be simple enough to take home and practice and I never understood why the cheerleaders didn't seem to do that outside of scheduled rehearsals. Start slow, walk it and then build up speed (but DON'T SKIP).

Didn't Brennan draw lines in her backyard or go to a place near by her home so she could practice? I'm pretty sure I recall that, or perhaps I am in need of an adult beverage...
