At the Hilton hotel at the Philadelphia Airport, a conference room was filled with approximately 400 anxious, aspirant, females, ranging from 18 - 35 years of age, waiting to try out for the Eagles cheerleading squad.

April 14 was an early day for the majority in attendance, as potential cheerleaders were asked to be at the hotel by 8 a.m. for reg• istration. At 9:30 a.m., Suzy Zucker, Eagles cheerleader choreographer, began teaching her routine.

Approximately 11 a.m. brought the first round of judging to a start as 38 groups of 10 girls hurriedly practiced the three-counts of eight taught to them by Zucker.

the panel of approximately 16 judges, including Zucker, Barbara Zaun, Eagles cheerleader director and Diego Ramos, Q 102 disc jockey, watched as each group of 10 potential cheerleaders presented themselves and their dancing ability.

Immediately after the first . round of cuts, each applicant was sent to a separate room to interview with the Barbizon School of Modeling. Barbizon and the Eagles cheerleaders are offering one girl who does not make the team the opportunity to still be featured in the Eagles cheerleader 2002-2003 calendar.
