#335: BEYOND THE CHAPS with the 2022 Denver Broncos Cheerleaders (Part I: McKenna)

What this episode covers

1. Describe the DBC audition process in-depth and explain what makes it so unique 2. In a recent interview with Alexis Rae Perry on Broncos Country Connected, your amazing director Shawna Peters said she has shown some of the questions on that football test to players and they came away a bit surprised at how advanced some of them were. What was your score on the football test this year and can you recall some examples of such questions Shawna was alluding to? 3. If you had to pick your most memorable moment as a DBC so far, what would it be and why? 4. As we mentioned at the top of the program, your full-time job is an Early Intervention Senior Service Coordinator. Describe the basic roles and responsibilities of that job for us 5. You and I have a mutual friend who has been on this podcast multiple times before…and was a teammate of yours in 2016, your DBC rookie season. Of course, I’m talking about Romi Bean, who is now a world-class sports reporter and anchor for CBS Denver. Did you learn anything specifically from Romi during your time on the team together that has stuck with you ever since?   6. When Romi came on this program last summer, she described what the 2015 Super Bowl-winning season was like. She told me that from start to finish, you could feel a vibe from top to bottom in the organization that suggested something special was going on and that we can win the whole thing. She also said that the cheerleaders had the same kind of special chemistry as the players did that year and implied that literally EVERYONE in the organization cranked their game up to 11. Now fast forward to this season where the Broncos have Russell Wilson now in the fold. Can you sense a similar vibe throughout the organization that Romi did in 2015? 7. How many community service hours are you required to perform per year and what are some of your favorite causes to support in the Denver and Colorado community? 8.
