First up: Your 2013-2014 Broncos cheerleaders:

The Denver Broncos would like to thank Chelsie for dedicating this past season to the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders! A message from Chelsie: "Hey Broncos Fans! Although I was only a Denver Broncos Cheerleader for one season, it was a life changing experience and I can do nothing but smile, as I reflect on the memories this team has added to my life. Having the opportunity to cheer for the best team in the NFL, going on the military caravan to support our US Troops, working with so many charities, cheering for the most loyal fans in the NFL, and most importantly working with the greatest group of ladies, is an experience and memory I will have and hold close to my heart for the rest of my life. I also want to give a special thank you to the DBC Director, Teresa Shear for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime, and allowing me to represent the Denver Broncos organization. As a DBC alumni, I am so proud and honored to say that I am part of the DBC family for the rest of my life. Thank you again for everything and for always supporting your cheerleaders! GO BRONCOS! --Chelsie."

There are no words that can explain the amazing life experiences you get to live when you are on the team and a part of such an amazing organization. I will forever cherish each and every one of those special moments, and all of the life long friendships I have made along the way.

The Denver Broncos would like Christina for two wonderful seasons with the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders! A message from Christina: "Every minute of my life as a DBC holds a cherished place in my heart that I could never forget. Dancing with my fun, energetic junior cheerleaders motivated me to be the most positive role model I could, while allowing me to teach my passion for dance. Long nights of rehearsals, though exhausting and sometimes seemingly endless, gave me the unforgettable opportunity to dance next to 25 of the most talented, accomplished, and beautiful women in the NFL. My teammates, my coaches, and my place on this team was such an incredible, God-given blessing, one that I will forever treasure. Beloved Broncos fans, take peace in knowing that your cheerleaders are expected, and more importantly, HONORED, to give the same ultimate dedication and passion to their team as all of you give unconditionally, every game! Special moments spent with all of you at events around the community inspired me to dance my hardest every single second I was on the field. The exhilarating rush of your Mile High Stadium energy is unlike any other feeling in the world! Thank you all for two incredible years that have changed my life for the better, for always. It makes me so proud to be able to tell my future little girl that her mom is apart of the DBC sisterhood. This has been a true dream come true for me. God Bless and Go Broncos! ~ Christina."
