We've added a couple to our line up -Can I hear the sousaphones give me a whoop whoop? (whoop whoop!) (go through all of the sections, including the BD) CAN I HEAR THE BAND GIVE ME A WHOOP WHOOP? WHOOP WHOOP!!! That one has its roots in band camp. I won't try to explain. -We always try to come up with cheers to match the teams we face. Last night we got this one... Face, Face, Face the facts, we're gonna kick those wildcats! By the end of the night, the cheer had changed... Face, Face, Face the facts, we have kicked the wildcats! -When the drumline plays Hot Chick (it's a cadence) a few of us start singing the Milkshake song. You know, "My milkshake brings all the..." so on and so forth. -I don't remember if I posted this one O-S-W! E-G-O! (ILL-INI style) I think that's all for now.

we dont have a cheer but we have a dance it is called the band rumble. it is fun the cheerleaders made it up for us. last year at marching contest we were waiting for our results and when every body was just sitting there all tense our band stood up and did the band rumble to cut the tension. it was funny some members from other bands came to our side to do it with us it was awsome. awkward (sorry if i spell it wrong) but awsome.

Our band sings or chants with certain cadences. However, they've had to modify a couple to keep from offending people that come to watch the game or from corrupting small band children, but that's a college band for you.

actually. I'm from cedar shoals, and we do the go gorilla cheer. she went here a while back. so that's cool. but just in case someone doesn't know how it goes. it goes a lil somethin like this. Go Gorilla! go go gorilla! go gorilla go go gorilla! swing to the left! swing to the right! peel your banana and UHH! take a bite.
its got a nifty lil drum part to it too.
we play wipeout, and the whole band does a ghetto dance to it, its great.
when we're winning we yell out "scoooooooooorebooooooard scoooooooooreboooooard"
Drums: Hey pit! Pit: What? Drums: Hey pit! Pit: What?! Drums: SHAKE YO BOOTAY! Pit: No way! Drums: SHAKE YO BOOTAY!! Pit: okay! Band: JUMP! shake yo bootay! JUMP JUMP! shake yo bootay! JUMP! shake yo bootay! JUMP JUMP! shake yo bootay!
*it goes through the whole band*
uh. we remixed a cheer our cheerleaders do.
Cheerleaders: GET FIRED UP! Band: I think my lighter went out Cheerleaders: GET FIRED UP! Band: Maybe we should strike a match Cheerleaders: GET! FIRED! UP! HEY! Get fired up!
we like to mess with the cheerleaders at our school...so we do this one too
Cheerleaders: when i say number you say one! NUMBER Band: TWO! Cheerleaders: NUMBER! Band: TWO! Cheerleaders: when i say blue you say orange! BLUE! Band: PURPLE! Cheerleaders: BLUE! Band: PURPLE! Cheerleaders: when i say cedar you say shoals! CEDAR! Band: CENTRAL! Cheerleaders: CEDAR! Band: WHO?!
they got really mad at us last time because we did it right behind them, right before halftime. it was great.
Random Person: YOU'S A HOOOOOOOE! Band: HOE! RP: YOU'S A HOOOOOOOOE! Band: HOE! RP: YOU'S A HOOOOOOOOE! Band: I SAID THAT YOU'SA HOOOOOOOOE! HOE!
heh. that's all i can remember, i'll post more after we have another game.

Like this? ;D www.talesfrombandcamp.com/cgi-bin/tfbcarchive.cgi?date=19980801We had some classic cheers that we did "back in the day" but I heard the current band director got rid of them. Good to see that the Go Gorilla cheer is still around though. ;D

Cheerleaders: HEY BAND! Band: HEY WHAT! Cheerleaders: HEY BAND! Band: HEY WHAT! Cheerleaders: SHOW US HOW TO GET DOWN! Band: NO WAY! Cheerleaders: SHOW US HOW TO GET DOWN! Band: OKAY! (dancing like maniacs) D.O.W.N AND THAT'S THE WAY TO GET DOWN! D.O.W.N AND THAT'S THE WAY TO GET DOWN!
Yes...we are freaks...cause we say it right on back to them, and God cheerleaders scare me.
And the saxes, we have a cheer of our own.
"We have sax appeal! Uh!" Yeah...one of us even has a shirt that says that...
The piccolos...they just say "Rawr". It's kind of strange...but hey...that's band for ya.
And of course: Someone: I SAID A BOOM CHIKA BOOM (band repeats) Someone: I SAID A BOOM CHIKA BOOM (band repeats) Someone: I SAID A BOOM CHIKA ROCKA CHIKA ROCKA CHIKA BOOM (band repeats) Someone: Uh huh (band repeats) Someone: Oh yeah (band repeats) Someone: One more time (band repeats) Someone: Let's do it (insert name of random bando here)style... And it just keeps going til there are no more times.

Drum Line- Did it rain? Band- YEA! DL- Did it rain? B-YEA! DL- Did it rain? B- YEA! DL-LET IT RAIN! Then they go into one of their cadences.
M clap clap clapclap clap A clap clap clapclap clap V...etc until you spell Mavericks
Umm...2 of our trombones have one for the Bleacher Creatures, which are little kids that run across the field before every home game.
After the fight song we yell GO MAVS GO, then have some drum stuff, then GO!
Umm.....other than that ,we just have a tradition this year of playing lets get it started as the first pop tune played by either band.
