Okay, so, today I want to talk about my experience with the Thunder cheerleaders. It all started when I saw an announcement about the Thunder Girls and O’City Crew Dance Teams. I’ve always loved dancing, and my favorite style is poms because, well, I’m a cheerleader at heart. So, I thought, why not give it a shot?
I remember it was a Friday, July 21st, when I decided to go for it. The moment I stepped into the audition, I could feel the energy. It was intense! You know, when you watch the cheerleaders at the games, they’re like these “world-class athletes,” and being there, I felt like I had to prove I could be one of them.
The first thing that struck me was how precise everything was. It’s not just about running around and finding your spot; it’s about hitting those formations perfectly. I’ve seen other teams where the cheerleaders seem a bit lost, but here, it was all about precision.
Now, I have a daughter who joined Thunder 8 years ago. She used to be so shy. But cheerleading? It’s like it transformed her. She gained so much confidence and made lifelong friends. Seeing her journey really inspired me to try out for the team myself.
- The Audition: I practiced day and night. I watched videos, worked on my moves, and tried to perfect my technique. When the day came, I was nervous but also excited. There were so many talented people there.
- The Waiting Game: After the audition, it was all about waiting. I checked my email like a hundred times a day, hoping for good news. It felt like forever!
- The Call: One day, I finally got the call. I made it! I was so happy, I could barely speak. I called my daughter right away to share the news.
Being part of the Thunder cheerleaders has been an incredible experience. It’s not just about dancing; it’s about being part of a team, supporting each other, and bringing energy to the games. I’ve learned so much about teamwork, dedication, and pushing myself beyond my limits.
The Impact
Being a Thunder cheerleader has changed my life in so many ways. I’ve become more confident, not just in my dancing but in myself. I’ve made amazing friends who feel like family. And I’ve had the opportunity to perform in front of thousands of people, which is an incredible feeling.
And you know what? Through 35 games, I’ve seen how the Thunder has dominated the stronger conference. It’s not just about the players; it’s about the whole team, including us, the cheerleaders. We’re part of something big, something special.
So, yeah, that’s my story about becoming a Thunder cheerleader. It’s been a wild ride, full of challenges and triumphs. And I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
