The Redskins Cheerleaders have announced the 2008-09 squad--and the new team’s makeup consists of 27 returning veterans and 14 rookies.
The Bethesda Theatre in Bethesda, Md., played host to Final Auditions on April 8 as top candidates from a pool of about 400 competed in the show.
The contestants competed for a roster spot after a week of auditions, photo shoots, dance rehearsals and a swimwear fashion show.

The Redskins.com Cheerleaders Roster page will be updated shortly. Rookie bios will be available at that time.
