2000 UAAP Cheerdance Competition - UP Pep Squad

[@astartin24]

Spent my18th birthday here! It's still my favorite UP pep performance. I remember being so amazed with their synchronicity and the brilliance of the stripes on their costume.

[@tiger01eater]

YES, agree me! one of d best UP PEP routine if not the best. hehe. dito nagstart un jazz pants craze which was adapted by most of the UAAP schools the following year/s. also, un mga dance moves, formations, arm movements, cannon, etc.. and the elevation of the competition in terms of style.. dito nag start ang lahat. pati mga panggagaya ng d OTHERS. opening pa lang, WOW - kakaiba tlaga UP IS REALY THE TREND SETTER!!!

i was a thomasian then (1 year ako lng ako) nung napanood ko ito at tlgang nagalingan ako especially dun sa part n nagpapatunog na cla using their body parts astig... now i am taking my master's in UP... proud to be part... hope we defend our title this year (i know we will)

[@jeniyap]

you couldn't have said it any better. this performance reminds me of the stompers of broadway and those black anime stick figures. UP Pep Squad is really ahead of their times. and every single year they always set the tone for the FOLLOWING year, i swear! no other school has achieved this feat by far. and choosing one particular sport every year as their theme? man! that's truly amazing. they're not only performers, they're ARTISTS!

[@noeldyne]

this is the best UP pep performance for me ;)

[@eldzs]

yes yes. it's still their year.

[@Precious84]

did i hear the cheer "peyups"? astig. :)

[@ProdigyOfZack]

@onyxxxguapo Congratulations on your realization. Now if we can only go back 11 years ago and tell the judges that the 2000 edition should've been judged on basket tosses, swan dives, tumbling passes and multiple 2.5-high pyramid transitions and not choreography, which, ironically is SDT's supposed strength.

[@jhengchie]

@kanamayumi at ngaun 2011 champions^^ #7thwin na and next year.. tabla na sa UST

[@cccmabc]

let's be true.. this routine is groundbreaking...and still has a GREAT influence on today's cheerleading?? a squad that will do a routine like this deserves to be kicked back to the olden times..for sure they will win there... but now, i could say that UP is good.. just wondering why they still need to put themes ( as in an ethnic theme)..cheerleading is cheerleading..it's okay to encorporate different genres in the routine..but the theme? but they're good, not considering the theme..

[@krungkrungmaster]

It's funny because sabi nila, madaya daw ang costume ng UP. Masyado daw na-stun ang judges sa costume ng UP kaya hindi na pinansin yung ibang criteria ng cheerdance. Then ginaya the following year.

[@masterwhel]

IMHO, this routine is better than that of 2001. Mas energetic, hindi sabog ang cheers at drums.
