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

[@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!

[@maybeitsmattie3751]

[@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.

[@lovejorita]

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

[@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

[@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:

[@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]

Dasha Noble That’s okay

[@tracianderson9823]

Thanks for asking and explaining the count.

[@mizucakes]

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 😂

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.

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.

[@cheerextreme]

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 ?

[@stillvisibletoallusers]

Shout out to any performer/s that keep going. That was spectacular. Massive appreciation for the crowd and the other teams helping them. That was truly beautiful to watch.

[@adfmo2195]

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

Wooow what a fantastic audience! Now that is sportsmanship!

This was a whole movie moment. Triumph. Loved the energy in there. This was amazing to watch. 1,3,5,7!!! Greatness

[@mildlycurious2514]

Beyond them being awesome, I LOVE the diversity of this squad! Stopped watching cheer competitions years ago because of the lack of diversity. I might just start watching again.

[@amaru5235]

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!!!

[@Ladeej]

I so remember these days and this video made my day yet I’m crying... So amazing ladies, just beautiful!!!!!

[@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

[@michelstaples1014]

This was amazing and wonderful. Togetherness is an abstract concept unless and until you put it into action as these women did. My heart is full

[@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.

[@RayneBOY2012]

I was a cheerleader in high school ❤️❤️ this literally brought tears to my eyes 😭😭😭 thanks for the trip down memory lane ❤️

[@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!

[@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

[@marlainacarter]

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

[@AlexPerez-wc6wx]

EPIC !!!!!! They Slayed the heck out of this routine even when the music stopped. Congratulations !!!!!!!

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 😂

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.

*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

[@haileyknapp4676]

This video made me miss cheer so much I cheered most of my life but when my cheer gym closed I was to connected to move on and it's been about 3 years and my family doesn't have the money to put me back into cheer and I can just about no longer can do what I used too and I cry because Everytime I remember all my times with my old team because at this point I know it will only ever be a dream, I miss my team Wildcat All-stars FL Keystone, they were a true family when I didn't feel like I belonged in my family My team has left me with so much great memories I miss every single one of them.

[@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!!

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

[@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.

[@nancytomlinson3523]

You practice over and over that it's second nature to go on. I was severely sick and heard the music for the first 16 counts but then I just couldn't hear the music so I counted. The next miracle was that I performed the rest of the show basically in my sleep. Because of how hard you practice and your body just knows. Great job for continuing despite an obstacle and your fellow cheerleaders were great in supporting you.
