A native Cape Codder has been chosen for the 2015 Patriots Cheerleaders Squad. In a release Tuesday, the Patriots announced the addition of eleven rookies on the team. One of those rookies is Jessica Strohm of Falmouth. Strohm, a 2008 graduate of Falmouth High School, graduated from Bristol Community College in 2010 and has worked in the in the food service industry and as a paralegal, according to her LinkedIn profile. She is the daughter of Greg and Kimberlee Strohm, who reside in Falmouth.
Prior to trying out for the Pats Cheerleaders, Strohm recently competed for Miss Massachusetts 2014. In 2014 she won the Miss New England States title and the Miss Tri-State Massachusetts title and in 2013 she was Miss Rhode Islands USA first runner up.
Strohm and her fellow 2015 teammates made it through a month-long audition which began with open auditions and ended with Patriots Cheerleaders Boot Camp. In all, 300 women applied for a coveted spot on the squad. The squad will practice twice a week and perform at all Pats home games in Foxboro. A spot on a squad can open many doors through travel and in-person and local and national television appearances. In June, the squad will travel to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic to shoot their swimsuit calendar and Sideline to Shoreline video. Photos from the calendar shoot will be posted on the Patriots website and the photo with the most fan likes will be included in the calendar.
Most of the 28 ladies on the 2015 team are from the Pats’ home state of Massachusetts, but a few are from as far away as California, Texas and Oregon.
