Hundreds Attend Eagles Cheerleader Tryouts

The Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleaders hosted their open call audition Saturday morning and nearly 400 women attended.

In hopes of becoming one of the 38 elite cheer squad members, prospective cheerleaders were taught a short dance routine which they then preformed in front of a panel of judges.

The contestants were judged based on their dancing ability, physical fitness, beauty and showmanship, not to mention Eagles pride.

The demanding audition process went on for nearly four hours as the field of hopeful ladies was cut in half after the first round of judging and again to only 100.

The remaining 100 cheerleaders will participate in the final audition which is open to the public, held April 21, 2009 at the Prince Theater in Philadelphia.
