Sunday, May 3, 2015
Sunday morning started with a trip down to the Georgia International Convention Center right near Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport to take photographs of some of the over 150 women that are hopeful to make the 2015 Atlanta Falcons cheerleading squad. There are only eight spots open for the upcoming season. Hopefuls were given a dance routine to practice during the beginning of the morning followed by groups of six going in front of a panel of judges to perform. Then the first cuts were made and the process repeated. The finalists picked from this first round of tryouts as well as a few others will then compete against one another and the current cheerleaders to find out who will ultimately be on the sidelines for 2015!
