Personal Narrative: My First Pep Cheers
It was a beautiful, sunny day on September 2, 2015, that our first pep rally of my first season of cheer took place. We had practiced and practiced to make this one incredible. This pep rally was the most exasperating thing I have ever done, but I knew what to do so I just went out there and tried my best. My cheer squad had been anticipating this day for months, our first pep rally. That was the first day we got to wear our cheerleading uniforms to school. When I walked into the office doors that morning, Mrs. Smith ran in there to see my cheer uniform. As the day dragged along, it was just a class period away, and then I would be in front of the whole school cheering. Somehow, that had just come into my realization, and I was just …show more content…
Then, we went onto the basketball court to stretch. As the students filed in one by one, we got into formation and ran over the cheers and the dance. My class, which was the seventh grade, made sure to sit on the front row to cheer Macy and I on. My squad started to get into formation, then I knew it was about to get real. We started out with the cheer “We’re Here’, then went into “It’s Great (Gracie’s Cheer).” Then we started chanting “DJH All the Way” which meant for us to get into our dance formation. I was inexplicably nervous, but I made sure not to let that show. We made it through the dance with ease, then it was time to introduce the boys. Mrs. Quinn told us that every time that they called a football boys name out, two of us had to go out and do a jump or tumbling pass. There were a few more things to do though. We went and gave some gifts to the ninth grade boys and then I was about over, then we realized we didn’t even do our class battle cries. We had each grade do that, then we closed to the band playing our alma mater. Mrs. Quinn made us go out there and pick up the candy wrappers that the boys left, but Perri and I were the only ones that actually did. Afterwards, we all took pictures together, and then it was time to go home and get ready for the

    As I pulled my hat on, a deluge of panic rushed over me. Suddenly, I felt like I was going to have an anxiety attack. I couldn’t have one - not after I’d worked so hard on controlling it. But as we lined up at the end zone, I knew I’d be okay. One last run through, one last push. With chins up and eyes wide with pride, we marched onto the football field, our hearts pounding, to our opening positions. I listened as the crowd cheered for us and the drum major, the leader and conductor of the band, saluted to express the band was ready. I performed my heart out, hitting every position, playing every note with all of my passion. Within nine fleeting minutes, we struck that last impact with everything we had and snapped our horns down, then hustled…

    I would go to the football field and go into the box announcers seat with a crossbow, bottle of water, protein bar, boards and a walkie talkie to respond to the other look outs. I would hide out in the box and since zombies are slow it would take them quite a long time to get to but when they do my look outs will take them out but if some pass by or I lose a person I can shoot them from my perfect view in the box from the field they are on and once all of them have been taken out I will call my crew together announce over the speaker we are safe and then call in on my walkie talkie the helicopter get my crew and head to the white house for our medals of honor for defeating our zombie…

    My cheer team, Spirit Celebration, practiced almost every night for the last month and could practically perform our routine in our sleep. This competition is what we prepared for all season. As our team gathers together, we stretch listening to our music over and over reviewing the routine in our minds. As we walk to the practice gym we glance at the other teams and laugh when they mess up. We performed our routine on the warm up mat perfectly. Walking to the on-deck area, we talk among ourselves with not a worry in the world. As we stand on deck we prayed not only to hit a clean routine but to have fun and that no would one get hurt. The emcee announces, “Performing now from Richardson, Texas, Spirit Celebration”, and it’s time to compete. The lights are bright and I can see nothing beyond the blue performance mat but black spots. The music starts and the crowd goes wild blowing air horns, banging wooden blocks together and trying to make as much noise as possible…

    Sweat drizzles down my skin as it exits my pores trying to cool my heated body. The blood rushes through my veins pumping blood with the consistent pounding of my heart. Every breath, every second, every action, every thought; I am standing where everything counts. Artificial turf and grass crumpled beneath my torn black shoes and the thick silence only cut by the timed chants from afar. This is the last moment I will stand here for this reason. This is the last moment I will stand here with my family. This is the last moment of my marching band career. Many will say that this was a special group of kids, others will say that this year was a show that was made to make it. I, on the other hand, will say that this was because of seven years of dedication.…

From City University To Hamilton Middle School Chris, Aaron, Terrell, and myself smiling from cheek to cheek. We got to Hamilton and we gear up.

    After going over everything on the agenda, our Link Crew coordinator announced we had something we needed to celebrate. She read a letter from one of our guidance counselors at the school. In the letter she described how a parent emailed her a few weeks before school started to tell her that her daughter has anxiety when it comes to new beginnings. She said her daughter stayed home from school her first week of middle school because she was so nervous. However, her first day of high school was a magical experience for her. The parent explained how her daughter was bouncing in her seat at the dinner table describing what a great day she had. Our Link Crew director announced whose group she was in, and sure enough, it was…

    My first goal was to complete a 200 pound bench press. I selected this goal because I wanted more power in football. My second goal was to do 75 consecutive push ups. I chose this goal because push ups are a great exercise to increase your bench press. My third goal was to get really cut and lower my body fat percentage. I increase cardio and changed to a healthier diet to achieve this goal. My fourth goal was to weight 150lbs. I chose this goal because having some extra weight will help me on the football field. I tried to make these goals reasonable and with a lot of hard work I was able to achieve 2 of them.…

That was, until on that last day of tryouts when the two coaches pulled me out of a drill and told me they wanted to talk to me.…

    Cheer Captain Essay

    • 634 Words
    • 3 Pages

    There are many different opinions out there about cheerleaders, many good, and some bad. Some people think of them as the girls standing by the football field, but I think of cheerleading as a symbol of all the spirit that we can share, and a token of appreciation toward the team that’s being cheered on. Cheerleading is such a vital part to many sections of the school. If I, Casey Harvel, were chosen to be a captain for the Michigan City High School squad, not only would I make sure that any negative opinions were squashed, but the great qualities the squad holds, are emphasized and constantly challenged.…

    Pep Protests

    Ugh… the pep rally. A place where stupid 8th grade boys come to see 8th grade girls shake their stuff. I hate it, but my mom always forces me to come. “Honey, it’s good for you to build school spirit.” “Oh Bree Bear, just go and have fun with your friends.” I just went to make her happy, but honestly sometimes I have a bit of fun. Okay, maybe sometimes I have a lot of fun. But you know what, that’s not the point. This time the cheerleaders were doing a new cheer. Instead of saying To the San to the Diego to the Bears, (Our school is San Diego middle, and our mascot is the bears,) they were saying,” To the D, to the A, to the D, since it was Father’s Day tomorrow. I had completely forgotten about that, because, well, I don’t have a dad. I mean, I obviously have to have a dad,…

    I had taken dance and trained to be on this team for basically my entire life and felt like I had this whole dance team thing in the bag, but nothing could have prepared me for our first outdoor practice. It was the middle of the day on the center of the football practice field in the bullseye of summer, the temperature had reached well over 95 degrees and the rain that had been sitting on…
