The Tennessee Titans Cheerleaders kick up the energy at the first Titans Code Blue Pep Rally
Last Friday, Nashville’s NFL fever was stoked with the first ever Titans Code Blue Pep Rally, featuring the Mayor of Nashville, Titans players, Titans mascot T-Rac, announcers, marching bands, live music, and, of course the Tennessee Titans Cheerleaders. Besides performing, signing calendars, posing with fans in photos, and helping during prize giveaways, the Cheerleaders may have also earned some spots on the Titans QB depth charts.
Downtown’s Walk of Fame Park hosted the event highlighted by appearances by Titans tight end Jared Cook, safety Michael Griffin, linebacker Colin McCarthy, and cornerback Jason McCourty, plus a presentation to Nashville Mayor Karl Dean of a personalized 12th Man Titan jersey. And among the required ingredients for any pep rally, the Titans Cheerleaders provided a dose of 1000 times the daily recommended amount of energy to get the fans ready for some football!
As the Titans Cheerleaders entered the stage the team’s statement chant, “We are, TITANS! We are, TITANS,” fans could sense that things were going to get shaking in Country Music Walk of Fame Park. The Titans Cheerleaders performed to the cheers of the fans, and then interacted with them. Signing the calendars that were revealed the night before at the calendar release party, taking photos with the attendees, and just being the gracious, effervescent squad that they are all the time.
After a performance by a marching band, another pep rally staple, the Titans Cheerleaders returned to the stage during the giveaways of some cool prizes. On stage, Anne P was asked how the game day excitement of the fans affects the Cheerleaders, and Anne responded, “My absolute favorite part of the game is always that minute we run out to the field, all the fans are in the stadium cheering. There’s nothing like it here in Nashville! So we are excited for Sunday!”
Some of the prizes were little footballs that the Cheerleaders threw to fans. From a stage, over a concrete performance area, all hitting their targets of eager fans, the Titans Cheerleaders showed that the Titans have some really good arms in their organization, not only Locker and Hasselbeck, but on the sidelines too!
Thanks so much to Director of Cheerleading Stacie Kinder and all of the Titans Cheerleaders! Game day photos and Cheerleader interviews will be coming soon! Here are some more photos of from the rally, and more photos at this link.
