Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleader Speaks About Super Bowl

HORSHAM TOWNSHIP, PA —Cassie Boone is preparing for her second Super Bowl on Sunday.

The township native is a Philadelphia Eagles cheerleader and getting her chance for another g-around when the Birds play the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.

Boone is one of four Eagles cheerleaders from Montgomery and Bucks counties who will be cheering for Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, AJ Brown, and company against Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid.

Boone, a fourth-grade teacher who has performed with the squad for four years, chatted with Patch before he joined her colleagues on Thursday to get ready for the big game.

"I am so excited to be heading back to the Super Bowl to be cheering on the Eagles,: said Boone, who cheered for the Birds when they lost to the Chiefs two years ago. "I feel grateful that this is the second Super Bowl I get to cheer at. I am really looking forward to being able to celebrate with Eagles fans from back home, but also to connect with fans from all over the world who are traveling to New Orleans for the week."

On Saturday, the cheerleaders will perform in the first-ever Super Bowl Host Committee Parade in the French Quarters, Boone said.

She said the parade will showcase the magic of Mardis Gras, including Super Bowl-themed floats along with local marching bands, stomping groups, and all kinds of celebrity guests and athletes.

"I am excited to see our Philadelphia culture mix with the rich culture of New Orleans," Boone told Patch.

Boone has been busy in New Orleans.

"We have many different activations throughout the week leading up to the game that will keep us busy," she said.

Among the activities are celebrating league-wide community initiatives such as "Salute to Service," "Crucial Catch," and "Inspire Change."

The cheerleaders will have a parade on Saturday and be cheering in the Super Bowl.

The cheerleaders have a routine, Boone said.

"Our routine definitely showcases the wonderful talents of our team and our music mix has some nods to Philadelphia culture," Boone said. "I am really excited to be bringing some of Philly heritage to the Super Bowl field."
