Jets Flight Crew Auditions: Day One

Hundreds of young ladies from around the tri-state area (and the world, I think I counted 10 dancers from Japan!) turned out for the 2011-12 NY Jets Flight Crew Auditions on Saturday. The auditions moved to the Lexus Club at New Meadowlands Stadium this year.

The giant screens outside the stadium displayed photos and videos of the Flight Crew.

Denise Garvey, Director of the Flight Crew, danced for the Nets and Knicks, cheered for the Cowboys and is now a mom!
