Pregame
Junior Cheerleaders
Since its inception, the Atlanta Falcons Junior Cheerleaders program has given young ladies the chance to get a taste of large-scale performing. Whether dancing during halftime at the Georgia Dome or at various other engagements in Atlanta and the surrounding community, being a Junior Cheerleader for the Falcons presents an opportunity to represent the Falcons at an early age.

Color Guard
Georgia State Patrol
The Georgia State Patrol Honor Guard represents the State of Georgia and the Department of Public Safety at events such as funerals, memorial services, details where color guards are required and other functions as deemed appropriate. In order to ensure proper representation and coverage throughout the State, the Honor Guard is comprised of a north unit and a south unit. Each unit is comprised of 14 sworn members and on occasion, both units are required to function as one.
Halftime
Robin Thicke
The award-winning multiplatinum superstar will perform at halftime of Sunday's game. He returns to center stage with "Something Else," a joyful and modern tribute to the ‘70s soul and pop records that have inspired an extraordinary career.
Something Else is aptly titled.
“It’s time for hope and change,” Thicke says. “It’s in the air. And I’m speaking on the times around me.” Thicke echoes the change with mesmerizing Superfly-era vocals, Gamble and Huff-inspired horn arrangements (“Hard on My Love”), unabashed lyrical optimism and an irresistible invitation to the dance floor (“Side Step”). “I don’t want to be a preacher, but I do think at the core of every great existence is an abundance of love and joy, and the only way to create that is to give it,” he adds.
