* I don’t remember the last time I’ve been this nervous for an audition in my entire life.
* So, we just found out who the finalists are. Really exciting, but the relief is short-lived, because we have to turn right around and film part of our audition, so that the fans can go online and vote for us.

**(8.3)**

* We’re here for our first meeting. It’s the kickoff to training camp and we’re just really excited.
* Last night was a huge reality check. It made you dig really deep, ask yourself the tough question, “Do you want to be here? Is this the amount of work you’re willing to put in?”

**(8.4)**

* It was awesome having Jordan [Johnson] come in. It was almost challenging because you just want to watch him dance.
* Watching Tessa go down was really devastating for a lot of people. I mean, the entire room just went into shock, half of the girls burst into tears.

**(8.6)**

* [Show group auditions] So, tonight, I definitely think the hardest routine for me is going to be Jordan’s hip-hop.
* I am hoping that what I put out there was enough to get me a spot in show group this year.
* I’m hoping that making the show group tonight will be that final little solidification that I need in order to be on this final team roster.

**(8.8)**

* We walk into the studio, and it is just this huge, huge set. Kelli and Judy have their absolute game faces on.
* Doing the show group pieces and just getting to show everybody what we’ve been working on, and how talented our team is, that’s really kind of the highlight of the show, so it was exhilarating and it was exciting.
* My parents and my husband finally got to see me put on the uniform and see a dream just come to real life before their very eyes.
* We’re kind of a little frantic in here, right now, trying to get everything accomplished. We got to have the stars on right and the lapels pinned. This is a huge day for us. I mean, it’s something we’ve been working for all summer, so there’s a lot of pressure for today, for you to remember something you might have learned three months ago.

### **Season 9**

**(9.2)**

* You know, the veterans have to re-audition every year for a couple of reasons. One – to keep us on our game, and two – this is a dance job, just like any other job out there in the industry, and there’s always new competition showing up, always new talent showing up.

**(9.8)**

* The show group is a group of elite women within Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. There’s 17 of us. We’re a group that’s a little bit more technically based.
* We get out there, and all of the sudden, the energy hits you and it’s magnetic. You want to build more and more. You want to build off of your teammates.

### **Season 10**

**(10.6)**

* Everybody really wants to be on the show group because you get some primo opportunities. We’re the ones that travel and perform all over the world. We go on USO tours. If there’s a show or anything outside of the stadium, we’re the ones doing it.

**(10.8)**

* [Oxnard] We’re back on a football field, but it’s not our field, so the grass is a little uneven. It’s an old-school field. There’s some holes; there’s some divots. And then we’re also getting back into learning yard-lines. We’ve been on a stage all off-season, so it’s very different than what we’ve been doing for the last six months.
* Ashley being out throws everything off. Every formation, everything we’ve been practicing for two weeks. So, Holly pulled back into my spot, and I pulled back to Ashley’s spot. There’s no time to think, so you just have to know instantly as you’re doing everything, what you’re doing, and all of that stuff just changed for us just now.
* Costume changes are really, really quick. There’s a really good chance a song will start and somebody will not be onstage.

### **Season 11**

**(11.2)**

* [After TCC's are announced] I think the new girls think they have an idea what they’re in for, but moving forward, the pressure only multiple. Gets 10x more grueling, 10x more exhausting, they will break down, they will cry, but if they make it through, they’ll be glad in the end

**(11.3)**

* “This is their welcome to the NFL moment.” [about rookies learning a routine in training camp]

**(11.8)**

* It’s really hard to count when that happens [*the music skipped*] and we’re hoping that everybody kind of holds off to maybe hear when the next beat starts in. But it’s a little frustrating, a little scary for what might happen at the performance.

### **Season 12**

**(12.3)**

* [With Jacie] We came tonight to teach the veterans the routine that the other girls learned during semifinals.

* Came here tonight, gave them a spiel about going full out, and they did it. After what I saw tonight, I still think the veterans definitely have the upper hand going into finals.

### **Season 13**

**(13.3)**

* [Back to being titled as "Jennifer Kathryne"] So, tonight I’m at the Star teaching the vets the exact same routine that all the new candidates learned at semis this last weekend. So, what takes us about an hour to teach a new candidate takes about 20 minutes to teach a veteran. They’re a little bit more rehearsed in learning dances all the time, so within about 20 to 25 minutes, this combination should look audition ready.
* The candidates coming in are so strong, they are gunning for these positions, so there are definitely some veterans that I think, that now if they don’t stand out as one of the best, I don’t know if they’ll earn their spot back.
