63
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,600

68
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,559
Speaker 1: You know it trips me out, Like you know Walking

69
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: Dead started either when y'all watch Walking Dead? Sorry, oh

70
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: I do you? Okay? So, all all the actors on

71
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: the show, it's based in Atlanta, so they all are

72
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: American sounding. Almost every one of them is English. So

73
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,119
Speaker 1: when they talk, when they're not in character, they all talk.

74
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: It's kind of like if you ever watched Sons of Anarchy.

75
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: Jack's yes, he's just an American, but when he's really British.

76
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: So like I was watching the preview to The Walking

77
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: Dead last night when we got home from the game,

78
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: and just trips me out. That's kind of what just

79
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: happened right then? Yes, everyone that sings those sings like

80
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: an America. It always sounds the same one direction. Yeah,

81
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: I don't know why, Like when you sing, why can't

82
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: everyone sing like an Australian. I mean, I don't know.

83
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: I think we just all sound the same. It's kind

84
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: of our like unified front voice music. Natalie and Bruglia,

85
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: she's Australia is Yes, Midnight has great voice Midnight al

86
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: as our producer CDC Guy Oh Douglas is in the

87
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: other room. By the way, there's cameras in here. There's

88
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: one there, there's one in that corner. Hey y'all, Hey, y'all.

89
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: So from time to time, so like people are watching,

90
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: you always always watch. When is that not happening? So,

91
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: speaking of people watching, you tell us about CMT this year?

92
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: This is what you're what year on the team? Is

93
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,119
Speaker 1: my third? Okay? Is there anything different this year about

94
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: CMT than previous years or is it just like good joke? Well, well,

95
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: what's the same? Really? I think a lot is from

96
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: my rookie year to this year. A lot's different. Um.

97
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: I thought my rookie year it was a lot of

98
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: the show was directed towards the girls that were in

99
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: training camp. This is our first year in training camp,

100
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: so a lot of the rookie candidates. I feel like

101
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: a lot of followed a lot of our stories. I

102
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: missed my mouth completely, Ice Courtney Smooth, So I feel

103
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: like that was directed a lot towards the rookie candidates

104
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: and then um, sort of this year, it was really

105
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: focused a lot on the veterans this year. UM great.

106
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: I feel like we had a we do have a

107
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: really strong veteran group. UM. As far as leadership performance, UM,

108
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: just across the board, we're a really good group that

109
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: works well together. I feel like so, I mean, I

110
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe that was where the which direction they

111
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: wanted to go, So it was how do you feel

112
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: like that was one difference this year, and also just

113
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: kind of, you know, freshening it up from going just

114
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: following we say, the Pinks, TCCs the whole summer. It

115
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: just it gives people a broader perspective. I think of

116
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: what's involved in training camp as a veteran too, because

117
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: it is it is challenging on both sides of the

118
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: spectrum and well and going off of that, people watch

119
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: Uruki year and then if they don't follow, you know,

120
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: maybe they want to follow your journey. It's kind of

121
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: nice to see like how you develop as a DCC

122
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: and people asking the comments all the time, like what

123
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: about the veterans, what about the veterans? They're there, yeahrd

124
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: And it was the longest season two with CMT this

125
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: year too, so they got to cover a lot of

126
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: extra elements that aren't usually part of the show. And

127
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: I mean, for one, they came to hire with us,

128
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: so that was just a vet kind of series and

129
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: that was really that was really cool having them there

130
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: because it's the kind of like they'd become extended family

131
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: throughout the summer, and so they get to experience all

132
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: those moments with us, which we love for both of us.

133
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: Our families don't really get a whole lot of I

134
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: got no ideas, so the show allows them to sort

135
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: of fallow along and document what we're doing. Stay in

136
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: touch with your lives exactly. M Yeah, so we love it.

137
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: I have a question for Cashero because a bunch of

138
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: people have been asking, like on all three social platforms,

139
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: how it feels to be the point of the triangle. Um,

140
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: So I explained it in a tweet the other day. Um,

141
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: it feels like you're standing on the edge of the

142
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: Grand Canyon in a set of celettos with your hair

143
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: on fire. And if that ain't that's accurate depict But

144
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: is anyone trying to push you off the edge or

145
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: you just kind of hanging out if they aren't looking,

146
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 1: I can't say. We're all just going to back up

147
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: slowly and she's just gonna be there by us. Just

148
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: turn around, digging my heels in. So um, it's an

149
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 1: adrenaline rush for sure. I'm not on a dream and junkie,

150
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,719
Speaker 1: but I do like to that feeling of just all

151
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: of a sudden you're out there and you can't really

152
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: turn around and go back. So it's been a huge privilege.

153
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: Like I said, there's any girl on the team that

154
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: they could have put up there. I firmly believe that

155
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: we're the best of the best because of the talent

156
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: through the entire team. You know, in an A teen

157
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: T stadium, they're watching the front as much as they

158
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: are the back. That place is a three sixty views,

159
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: so it's it's an important place to be. I do

160
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: feel like it's a it's an honor for sure. To

161
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: stand in that spot, but like I said, you know,

162
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: I'm blessed to have thirty five more girls behind me

163
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: that are just as amazing. How did that happen? Did

164
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: you just show up one day and they're like, oh,

165
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: by the way, you're moving here, or did you like

166
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: have a conversation with Kelly and Junior. So we were

167
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 1: sitting out on the practice field outside. I'm pretty sure

168
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: it was one hundred two degrees out. It was hot,

169
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: and I've already hot summer. I's already sweating. Was this

170
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 1: during the off season during training camps? During training camp? Yeah,

171
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 1: so we're getting new season shunning. There is another he's

172
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: full of jokes today. So, um, we're sitting out there

173
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: on the practice field. We're getting ready for Cant and

174
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: I think we're like a almost less than a week

175
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: out and we're resetting that formation and I'd already had

176
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: one spot. We went to Oxnard in one spot, and

177
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: then we get back we're getting ready to Canton and

178
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: they she's like we need to reblock and she's like

179
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: on the fifty and she called my name and I

180
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 1: was look she got I mean my heart speating. So sorry.

183
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: me to go get your glass here? But that's because

184
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: I didn't expect it at all. I thought, you know,

185
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: it's sort of a long shot, you know, especially coming

186
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: in like your rookie You're like, wow, that's that's a

187
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: cool place to stand, but you don't think that's ever

188
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: going to be you kind of thing. So yeah, it's um,

189
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: it's a lot of responsibility, but I like a challenge.

190
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: So does it change anything other than like where you're dancing?

191
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: Do you have any other added responsibilities as far as

192
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: being on the team or is it just business as

193
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: usual that you just happen to be there? Business as usual?

194
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: For me, I like to perform one hundred and ten percent.

195
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: Whether I'm in the front of the back, behind someone,

196
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. I feel like if you're gonna take

197
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: on this job, especially like if you're sacrifice and like

198
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: the things that you know, especially me and Janelle both

199
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: have a couple of fee of your whole lives exactly,

200

210
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: year it was purple and we were thirteen and three.

211
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,679

214
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: and I did trim it this year. Maybe I shouldn't

215
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: trinch on it. I don't think it has anything to

216
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: do with the bad color, because if we're all just

217
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,920

241
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: the rodeo world or the bull riding, and it's just

242
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: as scary, like semi watching it as I could imagine,

243

245
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: stressful relationship because he's probably somewhere different every weekend and

246
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,280

251
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: got to watch him ride there, which was really cool.

252
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 1: It was sort of like a cross path of my Now,

253
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: wait a minute, were you on stage for that, Yes,

254
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: but I knew him before the end, so you were

255
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: actually on stage when he walked up. Yeah, that's really cool.

256
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: Oh you walked him out. No, we're you know, sparkling

257
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: on the side, like player intro kind of stuff. But

258
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: it is it's a whole different, whole different world with

259
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: those guys. They they really do like put their life

260
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: online every time they get ready. But it's a good

261
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: sort of cooperation between me and him because he understands

262
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,240

Speaker 1: what the other one's doing, you know, chase their dream

00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: four hours a day, same kind of get you kind

270
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: of get that well. So Janelle's on the market. Guys,

271
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: make sure you send your flowers and stuff to the Star. Actually,

272
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: I like cookies. Cookies. They're looking around like where does

273
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: this sound coming from? Douglass and they're playing drops, So

274
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: questions questions, yes fans Brandon Ferrero, I don't know. I

275
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: hope I pronounce that right, Joan. Now, which dance style

276
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: is more challenging? Melbourne Storm or DCC Hi Brandon um,

277
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: very very different, very different styles. I mean the biggest

278
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: difference is that Melbourne Storm rugby outdoor during winter, so

279
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: we don't we're lucky here because we don't even have

280
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: to compete with the weather elements when we perform on

281
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: game day. So just being phrasing and dancing outside mentally,

282
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: it's very challenging, but it's it's different and then here

283
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: it's you know, you focus on the choreography, fickus on

284
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: the performance more so, I mean very different atmospheres too.

285
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: The style of dancing is not too different, but just

286
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: I mean the sport is what makes cheerleading in that environment.

287
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: So rugby the difference. You cheer in rugby, you cheer

288
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: like after because rugby's like NonStop. Right football, there's a

289
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: big player you cheer. Rugby's like non So how does

290
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: that work? So well, there was twelve of us on

291
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: the team. We had three girls in each corner. That's intimidating,

292
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: you know what, I kind of thinking, looking back on it,

293
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: it kind of was. But whenever they play music, we

294
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: have these little stools that we'd sit on in the corner,

295
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: and whenever the music was played, we'd get up and

296
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: we'd run out. There's no entrance, no yard lines, and

297
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: we just run in cheer and maybe throw a car

298
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: wheel in if you're feeling excited, and we do some

299
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: carry and then we stop when the music stops, and

300
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: then we go back to our chairs, and you know,

301
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: we'd cheer with the mascot or he'd have like the

302
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,440

332
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:39,639

333
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: in Louisville for a while. Did you dance in college?

334

335
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: um my mom owns a gymnastic studio back home. So

336
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: I grew up doing tumbling and All Star cheer and then, um,

337
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: you know, my dream was to be a University of

338
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 1: Kentucky cheerleader, just like girls done here want to be

339
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: Dusk Cowboys cheerleader, you know. And uh but there, you know,

340
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,239
Speaker 1: I don't feel like I'm a super tall girl. I'm

341
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: only about five four if those girls are you know,

342
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: anywhere between like four ten it's smaller than me. I

343
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 1: fold They're very, very small. And I got in high

344
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: school and grew and I was like, you know, I

345
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: need to start looking at other options. And I started

346
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: taking dance classes. And then my dance teacher, she Um,

347
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: was the coach for Eastern Tech University dance ting, and

348
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 1: I was like, you don't think I'm gonna try out

349
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,479
Speaker 1: in audition? Were you went to school? So I went

350
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: to school at EKU and was on their our dance

351
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: team all four years, captain my junior and senior year.

352
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: And after I had graduated, I was doing some student

353
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: teaching and I was subbing in places, and then I

354
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: did an internship in Louisville. I was a substitute teacher too. Wow,

355
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: that's alarming. It's crazy. It's alarming that people would trust

356
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: their children. I'm kidding, but I did worked at a

357
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: physical therapy clinic in Louisville for a while, and then

358
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: I moved back home in round November and I was

359
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: there and teaching jumnastics and trying to figure out do

360
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: I go back to school for physical therapy? Do I

361
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: go ahead and apply to different teaching jobs. And you know,

362
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 1: my mom really was like you know, have you ever

363
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: thought about auditioning? I was like, I don't know. People

364
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: have mentioned it to me before, but I'd never even

365
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: been to Texas and never been where texis. I'd never

366
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: been to text. Okay, I didn't know where the first

367
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: place was that you said, but I know where Texas is,

368
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: so I know where. Shann time I'm gonna finish your story,

369
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: someone's gonna tell me on Instagram that I'm being crash

370
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 1: again again. I don't even know what that word means.

00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: I had to look it up. Oh he did. I

372
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: don't know if that makes it feel better or not,

373
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: but it's okay, I'll go with it. So anyways, I've

374
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: came down here for a prep class, me and my

375
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: mom and um when we got back home, and I

376
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: was like, I think I wanna do this. I think

377
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,360
Speaker 1: I think I want to give it a shot. And

378
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: we came down here for auditions and my goal was

379
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,479
Speaker 1: to make it prelims and I was like, that's just

380
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 1: that's all I want to do. And then I saw

381
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: my name where I was like, oh man, oh this

382
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: is real what I do now? So I come back

383
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: for semis and I call they call my name into finals. Well,

384
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: there's like almost like five days in between semis and finals,

385
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: so we just stayed in different hotels around the Metroplay

386
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: until Friday rolled around and we did panel interview and

387
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: I'd studied my cowboys and texts stuff, and when I

388
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: got into my interview, they just asked you about my hometown.

389
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 1: And I was like, that's what you want to know about,

390
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 1: Like I studied all this stuff, but you want me

391
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: to talk about my hometown, Like why I can talk

392
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: about that all day? So interviews went fine, and then finals,

393
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: you know, we ran through that whole day, solos and everything,

394
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: and then they called me to training camp. I thought,

395
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: I really don't know how this happened, but it's here,

396
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: so let's just go ahead and let's do it. So

397
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: let's been here ever since. Yeah, and now y'all can't

398
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: get me to leave. So did both of you make

399
00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: it on your first tries auditioning? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? So

400
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: how did you be in Australia? What's your dancing background?

401
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 1: And then why why did you want to come here? Yeah?

402
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 1: I mean similar story, you know, growing up? This is

403
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: this is a dream for this is a dream for

404
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: every every young dancer. And I've been dancing since age four,

405
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: always just you know, fun performance, showmanship, spirit, kind of jazz,

406
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,239
Speaker 1: I suppose. And I grew up at the Johnny Young

407
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: Talent School, which is very it's a very fun, very

408
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: fun performance you know oriented way of performing. And then

409
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: we go here and we come to audition and we're

410
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: very shocked by how everything is very different. But you know,

411
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: Melbourne being a part of Melbourne Store and really helped

412
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: me prepare for it too. It's it's something that I

413
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 1: knew I wanted to do forever, but I really didn't

414
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: have the courage to go after it. And then my

415
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 1: best friend helped encourage me, my teammates and my coach

416
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: back home, and you know, it's a similar story for everybody,

417
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: but it's like you just kind of have to go

418
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: for it and dump off the cliff. Just for me,

419
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: it was I could have easily auditioned for a team

420
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: closer to home. Yeah, but this is it, Like this

421
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: is the top it. I was like, if I want

422
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: to do it, I want to do it black cash too.

423
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: I didn't have. I didn't I definitely didn't plan on

424
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 1: actually getting through. I wanted to experience the audition process.

425
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: I wanted to see Kelly and Judy. I wanted to

426
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: see the stadium and the Star and like all these

427
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: you know, corny things that like girls grow up looking

428
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: up to. And it was the experience you want to do.

429
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: I did, and you made it and they can't run

430
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 1: you off. I literally turned up the day before with

431
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: one bag. I stayed at the days In in Arlington

432
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: and thought that was Royalty Walmart. Excited me more than

433
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: anything in the entire world. Just woke up on prelimsday,

434
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: walked across the road with my little suitcase. Like I

435
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: made sure I had a room at that This is detailed.

436
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: I made sure I had a room at the days

437
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: In with a window of view of the stadium. And

438
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: I didn't sleep the whole night because while I was

439
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: very jetlagged, but I was also really excited that I was.

440
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: I was right there. I thought Arlington was Dallas, so

441
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: I didn't know a lot about wherever I was. I

442
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: was just like cowboys everything, walked across, made it Prelims

443
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 1: and then walked back to my hotel, didn't sleep so excited,

444
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: did it again the next day, and it just kind

445
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:20,560

Speaker 1: you're going to learn something from it. Yeah, they're from

454
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: the organization about that, about the audition, processor about yourself.

455
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,959
Speaker 1: What's the scariest part of that whole because it's intimidating,

456
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: like if you're there, even there watching like all these beautiful,

457
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: light talented girls show up cameras Kelly and Judy. For me,

458
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: driving up to the stadium, gosh, place is huge. What

459
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: is this? It looks like it's just a throwing out

460
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: of the grain, right, So I think that was the

461
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: most intimidating thing for me was just even like driving

462
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: up to it. I did pageants and stuff growing up,

463
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 1: so crowding around that environment of a competitive female environment,

464
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: that's not I mean, my first thing is to walk

465
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: it back. Hey, what's your name? I get to meet you,

466
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: like you want to be in this together. Are let's

467
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: go over here and try and like figure this out,

468
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: not like sink, let's try to swim. Yes, exactly. How

469
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: about you, Janelle, is the most like terrifying part of it?

470
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: Or were you just like, hey, this is awesome? I

471
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: was right up until solos because for me, I didn't

472
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 1: grow up in a competitive background. Yeah. And I'd been

473
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: to auditions kind of like as a teenager. I'd done

474
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: dance auditions. I've traveled overseas dancing before, but I'd never

475
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: gone I'd never had to do a solo like that

476
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: where there's cameras and there's hundreds of other girls watching

477
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: in twelve people on the panel. I mean, that was

478
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 1: an experience that I didn't realize how terrifying it was

479
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 1: until after I'd done it, and it just kind of

480
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: hit me and probably definitely the scariest part of auditions

481
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: every year. Well you made it. Guess what, We've made

482
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: it to the end of our time with really no

483
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: way we have to give a shout out the let
