Sacramento Mountain Lions News Release


Sacramento, CA - Wednesday, March 30, 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. KHTK radio personalities Don Geronimo and Carmichael Dave will serve as the evening's MC's for the event.

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.

You can visit www.facebook.com/SacramentoMountainLions for a picture and short bio of all 53 potential Lady Lions.

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 where one lucky fan will get a chance to be a judge on April 1. The contest will close on Wednesday, March 30. Go to www.facebook.com/SacramentoMountainLions for more details on this contest.

The team has also opened a Las Vegas trip giveaway contest this week. Anybody who "likes" the Mountain Lions on facebook.com will be automatically entered to win a trip for two to watch the Mountain Lions take on the two-time UFL Champion Las Vegas Locos this season. The winners will fly on the team plane, stay in the team hotel and get sideline passes to the game.

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