Camp gym, Cheerleading Tryouts, 10:00-12:00, Saturday

[1ordinarygirl]

Buffy might be a little grumbly about certain nekkid cheerleaders who were currently in detention, but she was still more cheerful than she had been yesterday. It was time for tryouts

Tryouts!

[1ordinarygirl]

There will be two parts, one for cheers and one for gymnastics.

Cheers

[1ordinarygirl]

Example cheers but feel free to make up your own Gremlin related cheers!

Will be judged both for inventiveness and yelling capability. If you can spell things with your arms, that's a definite bonus!

Pam? Still not sure how this had happened to her.

But she was there. And she had a cheer and everything. Sure, it was Scranton High's fight song with words changed, but it would work.

"Come on all you rabid gremlins,
Cheer for Fandom High!
For we are here to back our fighting gremlins
On to victory -- Fight fight fight!

We've got spirit, we can't be beat!
For our team is beyond, defeat!
Hail, hail the team's all here
So let's give 'em a gremlin cheer!"

And to her credit, she clapped and raised her arms over her head, and was much louder than she was used to being.

She was still embarrassed, though.

Buffy gave her a grin and a thumbs up. She'd totally known Pam would be good.

Lana nodded in time with the cheer. Quite good!

Annette was grinning. Pam was really great!

Phoebe grinned at Pam and wrote down notes. She liked the cheer.

Valentine didn't seem too terribly phased by the thought of getting up in front of people to potentially make a fool of himself waving his arms about and chanting patriotic cheers about the home team. He'd do what needed to be done for his audience, after all.
Rhythm, Valentine had. Expressive arm movement was a given as he mimed bitey teeth and did jazzhands for emphasis every time the word 'glitter' was mentioned. And his Irish accent didn't hurt the cheer much, either.

"Hey Crowd,
Let's yell, blue and gold,
Blue and gold!
Hey fans,
let's yell, fight Gremlins fight,
Fight Gremlins fight!
Blue and Gold - Bite Gremlins Bite!
O-F-F-E-N-S-E! Gremlins, show that team your teeth! Go Gremlins!
We've got venom and we've got glitter
So come on mighty Gremlins and show that we're no quitters!
Let your glitter go, hey!!"

It was entirely possible, however, that his vocal execution of the cheer itself needed a little work. He was more used to raising his voice for panicked screaming than for actually cheering someone on.

Buffy liked the jazzhands and the cheer itself, but she was a little prejudiced towards Irish accents at the moment. Obviously she had to be fair and not let that influence her. But still.

Re: Cheers

[lovelylana]

Nice accent. Lana smiled. She wasn't quite as sure about the bitey teeth bit, though.

Re: Cheers

[misshargrove]

Annette thought the cheer was good. Different with the Irish accent, but still good.

Re: Cheers

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe liked the cheer and the accent. The teeth part, not so much, but he was creative.

[witchy_prue]

Okay, Prue was way too excited to try out for cheerleading. Giddy, even.

"Dribble, dribble, dribble goes the basketball
(stomp,stomp, stomp) Goes the Gremlins feet,
Swish, swish, swish goes the net,
And the Gremlins have got you beat!"

She hadn't done that in about twelve years but she thought didn't do half bad. It was pretty easy getting back into that gleeful cheerleader persona.

Re: Cheers

[1ordinarygirl]

Buffy liked the basketball touch. Hey, you never knew if there might be a team again!

Re: Cheers

[lovelylana]

Good enthusiasm and spirit. Lana nodded cheerfully.

Re: Cheers

Annette smiled bright at Prue. Yay! For happy trying out people!
