Most Iconic Cheer Routine EVER! 1-3-5-7 MUSIC STOPS! COUGARS ~ NCA CHAMPIONS!

You may have seen this before, but since a large music group decided to claim our video because of music the arena played just in their introduction, I have decided to recreate this without the intro. I will be making the original video private. They will NOT use our material to make money and THIS team deserves to be on KZbin and EVERY team deserves to see what to do if something like this happens to their music. So share this like it was a big box of doughnuts! Thanks guys!
When your music stops next time you're in a competition... REMEMBER THE COUGARS!!!
This was an epic performance on the bigger stage to win the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

[@JennaLeigh]

The fact that the other teams are counting for them....seriously that is ALL CLASS. Love it.

[@maiascholes2832]

Most cheerleaders get taught that if the other teams music cuts out you still count for them

[@lordmaster6944]

Maia Scholes Yeah

[@vivianju2526]

I’m ur 1k like

[@fubukifangirl]

@@maiascholes2832 That's called being a good sport. I doubt football players would have been as sporting to rival teams.

[@carson551]

Foodfangirl In football when a player is down both teams are expected to take a knee for them. I have only been to one game that they did not. It was shocking and disrespectful. However, I absolutely love that they counted and cheered for the girls!

[@aquawoelfly]

Anyone else notice thier sync got better after the music stopped.

[@KarJaneDavis]

amanda cabrera YES!

[@kieraknight7365]

amanda cabrera it’s because they were all counting and fighting more

[@aquawoelfly]

As a former skater and band member i know all about couts for the music. And i watched as a syncro team skated after the music went out and they finihed the rutine musicless. Being on the stage lights w blamed the girl whose spot went out and had to be fixed durring intermission. Latter we learned somone hit the wrong button. But the spot was up again.

[@quinnsrustysponge-3256]

Thats cause in cheer you practice in counts before learning in music

[@amauritapp5420]

When I’m on stage sometimes I lose count bc I’m focusing to much on wut comes next (I regain count) so hearing them yell it might’ve let them focus more on what’s next. But idk

[@maybeitsmattie3751]

That energy gave me chills

[@lucyjohnson7026]

[@generalsux8747]

This made me cry oh my god,, the fact that everyone helped them is so amazing?? I know some people who would’ve been like “haha screw them, their going to loose” but everyone helped them and?? god i love the people in cheerleading

[@caitlynkaufholz4015]

they're*

[@artemisameretsu6905]

That's one of the best things about this video, the crowd, the other cheerleaders, people who probably wanted their team to win more still put that aside to help these girls. God damn if that isn't just the most wholesome thing I've seen in a while.

[@kristin3515]

Same

[@nicolelollipops8268]

General Sux omg I cried tooo !!! Thought I was just super emotional lol

[@lovejorita]

Me too. I cried and couldn't figure out why. This was so awesome.

[@elizabethharding1447]

the feeling of finishing a routine with no music is crazy. at our last dance competition a couple years ago, our final production routine with every girl on our team in it. half way through, the music stopped mid- tumble passes and turns. we all started screaming the lyrics and it’s crazy. at a dance competition, you are in straight eye contact with the judges. they were all shocked, and the other studios were backstage screaming counts to keep us going. when we ended and hit our final pose, everyone in the audience stood up and freaked out, we all stood up and started jumping and crying, and when we got backstage every single studio waiting for awards was screaming with us. at awards, there was only 2nd and 1st left to announce. we either got it all or got nothing. and let me tell you, when the announcers scream “1st place overall champion goes to number 272 soda shop by studio a dance academy”... we all started bawling. we all ran up and screamed our studio name and we couldn’t breathe. two years later i still mesmerize that moment, and i’ll never forget it. best feeling ever.💘

[@kaylinstetser]

muffin this happened to me to but the music stopped and started at the beginning but as it started over we kept going

[@kaylinstetser]

[@kiwiyaya1556]

you gave me chills when I read this THAT'S SO AWESOME!!! WHAT A STORY!!!

[@alandra402]

muffin you are a great story teller

[@urmomgay445]

muffin that’s a great story!

[@makylarichardson865]

I’ve been cheering for 9 years now and my mom was my coach for 7 years and she always stopped our music at random spots and on random days so we could practice going on and at competitions our music never stopped. Also my mom told us that if we lose a shoe or a bow to leave it and keep going. I love cheering it keeps me busy so that I’m not always on my butt.

[@rabbitpackcheese4102]

That's good

[@Skittl1321]

That's really good practice. Any dance or cheer team should be able to keep going with no hesitation

[@makaylarichardson28]

i just saw your comment and said wait a minute when did i start cheering

[@khadijahsams2163]

That's a great idea

[@katiegalindo1485]

That’s a good idea to see if you knew what to do if the music stops and if it happens at comp c:

[@tweakfreak87]

Can we give props to the other teams and the crowd keeping count for them? That’s class.

[@rosebushgaming8475]

This is so incredible that if someone's music stops they crowd helps you still do your routine even with no music

[@emmaandsadie7268]

I’ve gone through this too. This is really hard to do. I have also competed to music that skipped. We did our entire routine while the music skipped. That is hard too. They did amazing though and competed just how they were supposed to. It was amazing ladies. Great job!

[@kaylinstetser]

EmmaAndSadie ya I’m a dancer and my music stopped and then started over so we did kept going as the music was starting over 😂

Do not miss the interviews at the end. It’s part of their story and you’ll want to hear what it was like in that moment!

[@plasticlilspastic1]

I dont understand what actually happen. Obviously the music stopped, and in the description box it says because a b9g band claimed the music to try make money off the team but how ?

[@chemicalsubscript9578]

The crowd's energy. I love it

[@adfmo2195]

Music stops: “BRING IT! Cheerleaders: “It’s already been BROUGHT-EN!”

[@crystalarebalo6839]

I love watching cheer and this was the best so far. I didn’t even know the music stopped because they didn’t miss a beat and the other girls just started counting. It was so amazing. You could feel the excitement and love. I’m so happy for y’all, God Bless y’all’. You are great examples for lil girls and boys coming up who have the desire to cheer.

[@princesaofjudah]

I’ve been cheering school and elite for so many years now and this brought actual tears to my eyes. It is so difficult to stay focused and in sync when the music cuts off and they still finished their routine. This truly is ICONIC.

[@isabellagodspower-odiong9471]

2:35 was my favorite part

[@sakuraria11]

I came back to watch this again. And it never failed to make me cry

[@queenbee9874]

My daughter was on a competition cheer team and unless you're involved no one knows the hard work and dedication put into these routines. And yes school systems they are athletics

[@paigefournier9933]

This happened to me at a competition but it stopped after 5 seconds (literally) and we shouted our numbers and everyone in the crowd was counting too and it was terrifying but we ended up winning

[@marlainacarter3896]

Same, we hadn't even gotten passed the 20 sec mark when it stopped

[@singenstattatmen5096]

Wooow what a fantastic audience! Now that is sportsmanship!

[@MissMarisa7Beauty]

This made me wanna cry cuz... c’mon all those people? All so supportive? Makes you feel so good 😥

[@brooklynhicks838]

One time on stage for my musical theatre (dance competitions) routine we played the wrong music (on accident) and the music that was supposed to be played had 4 songs, but the one played only had 3. So once the third music just went on we kept on going and had to sing the rest of the song and the routine was Mamma Mia! and we had to sings and scream dancing queen. It wasn't on the pitch, but all of us just started singing with passion it is a moment in my life that I can never forget. We ended up getting platinum (highest at the competition) and that feeling of finishing that routine and everyone clapping filled joy and life through all of us. It was a truly amazing experience and when the adjudicator called us professionals for what we did it was awesome.

[@itgma]

When youtube recommends another random video... I wanted to give it a chance but 7 mins is a commitment. I cant even commit to finishing this se

Omg I started cheering when I was 4 and never quit , I'm still going. When I was little (6 or 7 ish) we had to wear curly wigs to COMPITITION. My wig FELL OFF mid-stunt. I panicked....my coach screeched "KEEP GOING!!!!!" and I did. She picked it up after. Literally love her 😂

I love this video because it reminds me how cheer can be so supportive and encouraging for everyone and it always has good memories, I cried watching this 😭😭 I wish I could go back in time

So awesome!!! I had a group of cheerleading ages 2-8 (never cheered before). The tape broke during their first performance!!! I just started the count 5,6,7,8! The started and finished no mistakes and they got 2nd place! So proud of them! That was 20 years ago! These extreme cheerleaders had the enegy, the crowd, and the cardinal rule down: Know your count and your music, if the music fails you, the count won't!! Congratulations Ladies!!!

[@prettyparanormalcassiekayb5498]

Amazing job! And having the other teams and crowd screaming 1-3-5-7 was just amazing and shows that even tho it’s a competition they support each other when it’s needed!!!

[@nataliesilva1667]

I hear 3-5-7-1 not 1-3-5-7

[@Skittl1321]

Agree! It's also so weird coming from dance where we count 2-4-6-8.

[@paigebaldwin2926]

Huh, weird! I’ve been cheering all my life and I’ve never thought about it before.

[@aurorraashley]

When I cheer we say 1-3-5-7-8. The 8 is added for us to finish a move.

[@broadwaydream93]

Its a continuation of the count, the music cut at beat 3. I never did cheer but in show choir which has a similar structure we start with a quicj 5-6-7-8 so our first move is beat 1. It helps the focus of the team to continue the beat instead of starting at 1 especially when the entire team is in the middle of a transition.

[@Crisyllis27]

That was amazing! They absolutely rocked it despite the music stopping in the middle of the routine! That reminds me of when I was at a cheer and dance competition at my alma mater, the music stopped in the middle of one of the cheer squad's routines, so I got up and got the crowd energized to count the 1-3-5-7 to help the squad finish it, and they were fantastic! They came up and thanked me for it! That's why I'm considered one of the best superfans out there and irreplaceable!

This had happened toe a while ago with my team and omg it was so fun everyone counted with us and we continued and won first and got the best overall routine!!! I was so proud

[@cameronmyers9242]

So one time a few years ago was my first ever competitive cheer team. I always did rec and at our first comp another’s teams music got played. We were so confused and ended up doing the whole routine to not our music. When we got done we got off the mat crying. We knew we were gonna lose because we weren’t on time with the music cause it wasn’t even ours. We ended up getting last place and to this day I wanna forget that comp.

[@MarleeSky]

Imagine if a pilgrim or some other ancient past person saw this. Lol

[@Shrimp-34429]

Absolute amazing! They deserve every bit of that award! Wonderfully done!

[@21phandomsatthedisco29]

In cheer, it’s not as hard to continue without music, seeing as when you first start a routine you learn to do it with no music, it basically trains you go be prepared without music even if they don’t think about it.

[@charlotteruse158]

"seeing as when"

[@Yrodriguez5]

I totally agree!!! When you’re up there performing the song in the background is the least thing you’re paying attention to because your counting with your teammates!!

[@orphanedhanyou]

I'd think that no matter the practice it's still nerve wracking especially higher up in competitions

*This is so cool! Sometimes I think of trying out for cheer but then reality strikes and I know damn well imma break my back 😂 they all did amazing though ❤️❤️👑👑*

[@emmettmcnally740]

Not at all! You should definitely try out! Cheer is a family, and it helps you build up both mental and physical strength. I have a bad back, and on my team there was no judgement for not being able to stretch as far, especially when you start out! By the end of my first cheer season, my back was much better from all the stretching and I was bench pressing as much, if not more than the football team in my gym class. My gym class members admitted it was funny to watch a 5'2" girl get into a weightlifting competition with the team during class and win

[@auraleec6564]

Aww everyone kept counting for them! Such a wonderful community.

[@kristeenam130]

Honestly they are so right about the crowd being so supportive. I was in competition dance in hs and that was the best part about going to nationals. Literally thousands of people cheering you on. It's so empowering and even though I wasn't best friends with everyone in that moment nothing else mattered. Cause you help each other
