Sacramento Mountain Lions Dance Team Finals Set for April 1

March 22, 2011 - United Football League (UFL 1)
Sacramento Mountain Lions News Release


Sacramento, CA - Tuesday, March 22, 2011 - The Sacramento Mountain Lions of the United Football League will hold their final cheerleading auditions at Dream Ultra Lounge (908 15th St., Sacramento, Ca. 95814) on Friday, April 1.

The auditions will begin at 6 p.m. while the doors will open to the public at 5:30 p.m.

Fifty-three women will be competing for the 32 spots on the Lady Lions 2011 cheerleading squad. This group of ladies qualified for the finals by being among the top performers at one of two preliminary auditions. Nineteen veterans from last year's team received a pass through the preliminary round, but will have to compete with the rest of the finalists to keep their spots at these final auditions.

The squad of 32 will be picked on April 1 following the auditions.

"I am so impressed with the quality of girls that are in the finals - it's going to be a really tough audition," said Mountain Lions Cheer and Dance Team Director Lindsay Shoemaker. "Any of them can make it. We have about 10 girls hovering around the final three spots - taking into account their preliminary audition and interview scores."

The Lady Lions will perform at all four Mountain Lion home games this fall and will serve as ambassadors for the organization throughout the season.

"The preliminaries were closed but the finals are open to the public and we are looking for audience participation in helping us choose the team," Shoemaker said. "So come on out and cheer on your favorites."

The Mountain Lions are also running a contest on www.facebook.com where one lucky fan will get a chance to be a judge on April 1. Go to www.facebook.com/SacramentoMountainLions for more details on this contest.

The UFL season will begin in August. The game schedule has not been finalized yet.

Ticket information will be available soon at www.sacmountainlions.com. Fans can also visit www.buyUFL.com for merchandise.
