In 2013, NU won it's first-ever title besting favorites UP Pep Squad and UST Sallingawi Dance Troup. Not to be outdone are the rest of the schools: UE Red Squad, FEU Cheering Squad, Ateneo Blue Babble Batallion, DLSU Animo Squad, and Adamson Pep Squad.

Since the Cheerdance Competition started in 1994, UP and UST lead the pack with 8 gold medals each. Including silver and bronze awards, the former leads the rest of the league with 18, while the latter isn’t far behind at second with 14.
This year, NU won as Champ again for the 2nd time with their breath-taking stunts and clean routine. But I must say UP did a great job promoting the advocacy of EQUALITY on their routine.

What I didn't like was that when UP was called to be the 1st runner up, they don't have any reaction, I mean they're just seating there, not happy (as obviously shown) with the result.

ReplyDeleteI use to cheer (A long LONG time ago!) competitions where always fun :). We use to go to a cheer camp and my 2nd year I was still on JV. We won a award for best routine and the announcer started off by saying our school name and the whole varsity squad jumped up and start cheering and when the announcer finished with JV they got real quite and looked almost mad :/.... So I can understand why you didn't like the non-reaction given by the runners up!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post. It looks like all of the cheerers and dancers had a lot of fun doing what they love.
