Her favorite thing about being a part of the Saints Entertainment Team so far is the supportive community and friendships that she's made. Chauncey is most excited about interacting with the fans on gameday "What I love most about Saints game days, is the energy and comradery of our fans! I literally can't help smiling at them. Their joy overflows and embodies everything that New Orleans represents! Her favorite quote to live by is "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." -Maya Angelou
Advice I would give to someone auditioning for Saint Cheer Krewe would be to prepare your body, attitude, dance technique, interview skills, resume and learn the style as much as you can. Most importantly, be confident and have fun. Auditions are an experience that you will never forget, no matter the outcome.
