Cheers and Drumbeats

[Stardust]

Jeep, thanks for sharing your personal experience. I had my schooling from 1965 (prep) to 1982 (eng'g). Back then, "get that ball", "shoot that ball", "animo", drum beats, fight songs were staples in the NCAA. Everyone was using it and there was no fuss among the communities. Of course, hurled profanity was a different story. It often resulted in rumbles : (

Have a good weekend everyone!

hi jeep I can speak for the Letran side(although have also an atenean blood also running in my veins), I've been talking recently with the Letran 60s and 70s batches with this topic they told me the "Get the Ball" cheer was already being use even in their time, then the 90s and early 2000 the beat never change but however recently the tempo became much slower due to the present generation cannot sustain the up beat tempo cheering.

All season long, DLSU's pep squad's shameless, disgusting, cheap bastardization of our one-word cheer has continued to persist.

Shame.

Even the "puso" and "all heart" battlecries, even the formations are being plagiarized.

SHAME.

And as if that's not enough, the lack of creativity now manifests itself in things like these:





STOP COPYING OUR CHEERS AND DRUMBEATS.

La Salle, the insititution, has always exercised tight control over its intellectual property, particularly the "La Salle" name. I believe it continues to do so, and that any merchandise with "La Salle" on it is produced/sold either by the institution itself or a third party under an official licensing agreement/contract with said institution. The picture above, therefore, suggests that La Salle, the institution, has condoned/abetted the use of what surely it knows is a line taken from Ateneo's A Song for Mary and could not be merely brushed aside as the individual/personal work of one or some of its students.

Here are select pages from my mom's ADM Cheer Book given to her by Atenean Al Abesamis around 1956. I am not privy to all the cheers ADM is using now. Reviving the "Guarding & Shooting Yell" in case it is not used anymore could be an option to counter the generic "get that ball" and "shoot that ball" cheered in the old NCAA ; )
