Denver
Bronco Cheerleaders
In 2006, the 34 members of the Denver Broncos Cheerleading squad divided more than 1,100 hours of civic involvement among 85 Colorado organizations. Many associations, from Craig Hospital to the Race for the Cure, were visited by members of last year's team. For the upcoming season, the squad will continue to promote community involvement as its number one commitment.
Also in 2006, members of the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders visited military bases in Italy and Iraq, with a traveling 90-minute show to boost the morale of the troops and thank them for their service to our country. Over the past 4 years, the Broncos Cheerleaders have also visited Egypt, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Afghanistan and the Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington D.C. in support of our US Troops. The Broncos Cheerleaders are committed to helping the U.S. military and are honored to be able to thank them on behalf of the Denver Broncos.
Entering their 15th season, the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders are one of the premier teams in the National Football League. The Broncos brought back cheerleaders in 1993 after a 17-year absence and are proud of the work the team does both on the field and most importantly in the community.
The Broncos Cheerleaders are selected through auditions held each spring. In 2007, 300 women tried out for the 34 available positions. Auditions focus primarily on dance ability; however, appearance, personal accomplishments and community involvement also are contributing factors.
Known for their distinctive western uniforms, the Cheerleaders wear long leather chaps and jackets in the fall months, ski-wear for cold games and a more traditional cheerleading leather skirt and vest in the summer months. The three uniform changes give the group flexibility with the rapidly changing Colorado weather.
