One thing that impressed them was that people appreciated them, including their school's team. Apparently the football squad just kind of expected them to be there.

As I recall, the same cheerleaders were with the team in Atlanta that year. (I think the team won a rookie award or something like that.) They helped 330 (and I'm not sure who all else) with a cheer or two as well.
