Tree of Dreams
During the holidays, the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Christmas Tree is adorned with hundreds of ornaments, handmade by the DCC they represent. The inception of the tree was in December of 1995. What is now a sentimental nod to the young women that make up each squad, started with the unfortunate fire that burned Judy Trammell’s home.

DCC Alumni Spotlight – Alyssa Sarasani Rouls
THE DCC SISTERHOOD: A TRADITION OF BONDING AND INSPIRATION By DCC Savannah I had the pleasure of interviewing Alyssa Rouls, a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader alum who cheered during the 2010 and 2011 season.

It wasn’t the players that Alyssa wanted to see though. She
