Judy: "Now's the tricky part, every 4 counts you move 5 yards" Me: *screams in Marching Band*

[@squeegeeandcrew8619]

I was in marching band only for a year as a member of the colorguard, and it’s very stressful trying to dance across the turf 😂 felt this comment

[@phoenixwing5133]

Literally just came back from marching practice.

[@Cece27118]

Just gave me flashbacks of band camp and the guard line literally yelling "LINE!" on the 4th and 8th counts

[@stephanie22345]

Easy, just join the pit

[@ffablonde1]

I did marching band for all four years of high school and once you get the hang of it it’s really not that hard. You learn the music and do the counts in your head.

[@emilyme23455]

I love Amanda... she has technique and such a good attitude. Plus love her hair!!

[@phoenixwing5133]

Omg ikr?? She's got such a positive and sunny vibe to her.

[@nicolekirkland86]

Shes been a favorite of mine for a while ❤️❤️❤️

[@decodolly1535]

Amanda for future Point!

[@carolinagirl7596]

I’ve attended the first two home games for the Cowboys this season. I can honestly state that Meredith on the TV show is the same Meredith I saw on both game days. She has all the same struggles and is usually off by 1-2 counts. It seemed that she was always watching the others and duplicating their moves instead of being in sync and moving with them on the count. At times, you could tell by her facial expressions that she was feeling overwhelmed. Sure, she made the team, but it’s obvious that she needs more practice. In her case, they did her no favors by keeping her before she was ready. Because the ladies move so fluidly as one, it really stands out when she’s off count. And before anyone suggests it, I seriously doubt that her struggles on game day are scripted for drama on the show. I’ve never seen the show go out of their way to embarrass someone on the team.

[@lyn135]

Tinker Forester honestly at this point I feel bad for her. They are keeping her there for whatever reason (she has ties maybe) and I’m sure she is happy that she stayed. However, I don’t think throwing her out there like this is gonna prepare her and help her grow better/faster then if she was cut and continued to take more classes that would help her get ready for the next auditions.

[@genocash8436]

Tinker Forester This is what I wondered about..how she was doing at the games. If she’s messing up, they deserve it.

[@Diana-yk7sp]

Gosh, that's really too bad. Well, she was lucky that she made the team but they can't keep on someone that is constantly missing counts. I don't know how these girls do it. They are all amazing. I couldn't begin to learn one dance....much less dozens and dozens of them and always be on point. That's why I love these videos so much. They really show how hard it is to make the team and stay on it. But, getting back to Meredith...I did wonder after they let her make the team if she was able to improve. I wish her the best. Thanks for your comment...it's always nice to hear from people who attend the games and see them perform in person.

[@lucyclark965]

Anyone else in an endless cycle of coming back and watching DCC videos?

[@SimplyRaecosmetics]

I’m thinking Meredith must be related to the CEO cause girlllll she shoulda been gone😂

[@hayleybeale4223]

That’s what I’m saying!!!

[@maneelaxiong9814]

They have the same piercing blue eyes!

[@charalli245]

I don’t get the appeal. Yea she has some blue eyes or whatever but I don’t see it. They cut that girl from last season who has a slow working memory but let this one make the team

[@NashiaRenae]

No but honestly though 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@charalli245]

I saw on her Instagram that her dad knows George Bush, maybe that’s it

[@not4791]

I’m starting to think merediths dad owns the cowboys team because ... 🤣🤣💀

[@__eganista6372]

@Shelly Carpio Oh you mean like Cassie getting in because her mum Judy is the choreographer? now that is someone who was s*** and a bully.

[@Averia89]

If any hopeful gets called into the office for making mistakes in future seasons they can just be like ¨but you kept Meredith¨

[@TheCutiepie2004]

that might piss them off more (even though it's true)

[@UncoordinatedPixie]

and Malena from the season before this. Malena was even benched by another NFL cheer team because she can’t dance yet DCC waited until the day before the first game to cut her and Lily. She couldn’t do anything.

[@elizabethrowntree4270]

OMG yes! 😂

[@rebeccamichelle3739]

and they also kept Kat, they were constantly saying her name because she wasn't getting it, and in 2020 never once saying anything to Lily, it was too unnerving to watch. so my vote; Happy to see the show go off the air, 2 worst coaches I have ever seen.

[@sarisolbajoelsol]

it's okay y'all! Meredith *"WiLl GeT iT nExT tImE."* She should've got cut a lot time ago, she has potential she's just not ready yet. She's always *"a little bit off."*

[@kaylamesser5733]

You're 100% right. The potential is there. I coach a high school danceline in Colorado and every single one of my girls are better than Meredith.

[@1eticketride]

Can I just say Kshara is still my fave. She makes me laugh, she's full of energy and always there to lend a hand.

[@lammie001]

She is the opposite of funny though

[@toniwelch6504]

They sent home a lot of girls that should still be there, especially the girl who tried out 5 times. She was beautiful and danced well. I was heartbroken when they sent her home. 😢

[@karenadams2512]

Watching these videos and reading replys on a whim. I believe there's a whole lot of sneaky stuff goes on with that Federation. Who knows who and if the coaches don't like you for whatever reason your out or don't get selected at all. I don't believe it's all true blue in the background so to speak. Just my opinion. Just sayin.

[@jessicanguyen1169]

Every video Meredith is “a little bit behind”... disappointing

[@MsWina08]

Jessica Nguyen ikr they cut other girls who were better than her, made less mistakes and picked up chorography faster..... she made the team ....😑

[@imsojessicanichole3853]

Edwina K'eitahkeahbomah most definitely think its cause shes pretty and her eyes will be amazing on the big screen

[@CAsaidit]

ImSoJessica Nichole Exactly! She would also look amazing in the calendar. The thing with her is she’s pretty good. She just needs an extra week for every routine which doesn’t make her a horrible performer just a slow learner.

[@jessicanguyen1169]

C A but sometimes you have to pick up on choreography a little quicker. I’m not saying she’s horrible or ugly just saying how disappointing because there are better dances who pick up choreography way quicker than she does. And does it beautifully

[@CAsaidit]

Jessica Nguyen At the end of the day, a not so great looking girl who is perfection when dancing will be dropped for a gorgeous person who is a 9 out of 10 dancer when it comes to DCC.

[@devlyndoster6803]

my brain throughout this whole video: get chuh back off tha wahl don’t yuh get comf-ta-bal lookin so hawt i thank that i might fall

[@dejahturner16]

Does anyone else randomly do parts of the DCC walk while walking around? Just me..? Cool.

Yes

[@mightbealy]

Kat is definitely my favorite girl here, I love her style and attitude! ❤️

[@alexisreyes4179]

why did Meredith made the team if she can't even get the entrance right ? that mistake should of gotten her cut. plus Kellie said she couldn't make the team but unfortunately she did 😤😤😤

[@user-52z1]

Bc she is pretty so they are more lenient with her

[@coll4455]

I don’t believe Meredith made the team

"You have to walk walk walk sashay walk" Kat made me laugh the way she described that lol.

y'know, for a ballerina, meredith can't remember counts to save her life

I know girl, I coach a high school danceline in Colorado and most all of my girls are better then Meredith.

[@eleo_b]

I’m sorry, but they’re pushing this Meredith storyline too hard. It’s not believable to me. They just need something to stir a conversation.

[@user-52z1]

She made the team sadly

[@eleo_b]

E • I think you misunderstood me. I think this is all scripted or at least a well thought out story line in which Meredith is supposed to be the problem child. She will eventually rise and shine. This is because otherwise people have nothing to tune into, since it’s basically the same every year.

[@eleo_b]

Witch's Brew Sims • no, I think Meredith has been casted to be this type of auditioner.

[@charalli245]

Eleonore Bon basically? It is literally the EXACT same every year. The songs and the girls are the same or look the same.

[@GeometricMason]

What I have never understood about this particular issue is that is entrance thing is NOT a secret. The rookie could go online and find videos of it and at least learn part of it ahead of time.

[@millyb440]

yh this is what i was thinking. and the kick line too

[@anjiemarie1]

I've seen them cut girls that make way less mistakes than Meredith makes, I wonder who she knows?!

[@ariahmarie4982]

and i've seen girls who've made more mistakes get on the team. they only show so much. and if you see in the background, even veterans make mistakes. meredith makes the team because she deserves to, just like everyone else who has ever made it and will make it one day.

[@lucyulwa8286]

Ariah Marie but meredith makes complaints and excuses and she almost made 2 veterans get injured during a kick line... usually when a girl makes a mistake she gets sent home after the 2nd time. meredith is being kept cause of looks

[@ariahmarie4982]

lucy ulwa a lot of girls have. is this your first season? look at every season ever aired and even before that, look at the team rosters. meredith isn't the first girl to be pretty and it get used as an advantage whether she intended for it to or not. find a different reason to not like her because all i ever see is "she makes mistakes, she's being kept because she's pretty". EVERY GIRL ON THE TEAM IS PRETTY AND EVERY GIRL AT ONE POINT OR ANOTHER HAS MADE MISTAKES. sounds like jealousy, not a critique on her skill

[@lucyulwa8286]

Ariah Marie i’m pouring out the obvious and they even said she makes the same mistake over and over again...

[@ariahmarie4982]

lucy ulwa well she makes the team along with 36 other amazing people. doesn't really matter

Well let's see how that works put next year?🤨

[@homosixual1759]

As a ballerina, Meredith really should know counts.

[@MatthewShaw-ui6dw]

anyone freak out when they heard little mix? cause i did😂❤️

[@walover165]

I finally worked out what really, really annoyed me about Meredith in this one. It wasn't that she was behind, or off. It was that SHE DIDN'T FINISH. In skating it is one thing we are always taught to do. No matter how far behind you are, how many falls you take, you finish the damn program. You don't just fade out like that.

[@yasmini.alamin6031]

Tbh. Every single rookie should know the field entrance and jump split kick line before they get there. They ALL say how much the love the dcc and watch them so much since they were young. There are so many videos of the iconic dances. How can they have no idea how to do it?

[@caitlyngordon4397]

They said every game one person will have to sit out to make the 36 and I have a feeling Meredith will often be the one sitting out

[@alexandrafilas8769]

I like that they don’t focus on what the veterans are doing wrong, at least they cut them a break

[@lydiagould2545]

Y’all it’s a TV show, Merediths mistakes are the ones shown. They can edit anyone to make them look like they’re struggling cause they’ll all make mistakes. Of course she’s gonna make it with how much editing attention she gets

They're not, because Taylor would made a mistake then FIX IT. She showed improvement and got better as the show went on. She fully deserved her spot.
