DCC Training Camp Update
Here’s a little more detail on who made training camp. Mind you, this is not an OFFICIAL list. The team wants you to watch the CMT show this summer, so it’s unlikely they will spoil it by publishing the names of those who were selected. So the information below is coming from me, based on a few reliable sources and some educated guesses. I’m about 95% confident that this is correct (although I freely admit that Elizabeth and Emily are guesses based on nothing more than eyeballing the group photo and the process of elimination.)
I will post updates as needed. I rely on all of you to set me straight, so please post corrections in the comments section. (Comments are moderated, so do not be alarmed if your comment doesn’t appear immediately.)
Is that enough of a disclaimer? Ok, moving on.
First some stats:
* There were 36 cheerleaders on last year’s team. Of those, 13 retired. (Retirees: Abby, Ashley F, Brittney, Courtney, Emma, Jennifer E, Jessica M, Jordan, Katy, Nicole, Samantha, Sydney, and Veronica)
* 82 candidates participated in final auditions (23 veterans and 59 rookie candidates)
* 46 were selected (20 veterans and 26 rookie candidates)
* Unfortunately, 3 veterans who reauditioned were not selected, Ashley P, Breelan, and Jasmine
* 14 rookie candidates had been selected as finalists in 2013 or 2014. Of those, 3 were selected to this year’s training camp (Courtney, Robin, and Taylor S). All three were finalists last year but did not make it to training camp.)
* Seven of the rookie candidates selected to training camp are alumni of other teams: Amy T (New York Knicks), Chantel (Dallas Mavericks), Courtney (Dallas Stars), Robin (Texas Legends), Rose (Allen Americans), Shelbi (Texas Star Dancers), and Stephanie (Allen Americans, Update: she is also a former Milwaukee Bucks Dancer)
* Update: One dancer from 2014 training camp (Christina), and one dancer from 2013 training camp (Ashley S.) were selected as finalists again this year, but unfortunately were not invited to training camp this time around.
* Update:The word from Jess in the comments is that Colby won the fan vote. Thanks Jess!
So here’s who made the cut this time. Click the photo to view full size:

Elizabeth (Bess) was with the Oakland Raiderettes for 4 seasons. http://www.raiders.com/raiderettes/cheerleaders/Bess/cc8eb190-e280-48af-8800-accf2bbcdca6
I’m so upset Ashley Paige did not make it into Training Camp! Her fan vote video was better than most!
