I went to a neighbouring school, and we did the same thing. How do you do it? Well, you practice for about 3-5 hours a day for about 2-3 months. You are assigned a seat, and you are given a grid. You know when you have to stand up, sit down, flash your blazer, close it up, turn around, whatever. You know exactly which second in the routine and which beat in the song you have to perform. And you know what the person to you left and right has to do, so you can stomp on their feet when they mess up. So basically, discipline.
ya well any one using that they served in the US Army to promote you tube videos, has a problem. Every tom dick and harry thinks they can discuss a rugby game and get views at the moment, it is ridiculous.
Practicing this is a mission, getting people to cooperate is a headache BUT the day of the event is a whole new different ball game, the spirit is unimaginable!!!!
Ah it looks like a lot of work but you’re right once it all comes together it’s absolutely remarkable! I could only imagine how it is to witness this performance live on event day.
@@archrite3983 Wow you guys are lucky. For us it was like 80% will look forward it, but It was always a mission to get people to cooperate accordingly, it was always at the last week were everyone started cooperating because of the excitement!
@@anelisamali2846 lmao I was a cheerleader in my year, the work put in to make all this come together was just too much 😭 all worth it on the day though 👌
That was my first thought as well. All our kids deserve great school experiences like this but so many are in mud classrooms and have to use pit toilets. The divide is gonna outlive us and our kids
Its not all fun and games at warcry pratice though, been there done that. Many hours spent in the sun during breaks and after school to pull it off but it built our character.
Many School are like this in South Africa. I would definitely argue, South Africa's top schools are best in the world. From schools like Grey College to Paarl Gimnasium. I'm in a school at New Zealand now. But damn, my high school was also very dedicated. Missing the school spirit.
I am literally in that crowd. It is known as the MTBS M(DF Malan) T(Tygerberg) B (Bellville) and S(Stellenberg). 4 high-schools in Cape Town trying to provide the best performance.
I'm South African. Didn't know bout this. Discovering it with you! Edit: this is the first time I'm seeing this kind of spectator cheering - yeah my school was boring. We sang rowdy disses at each other.
Wow that's amazing I didn't even know that and I'm talking about the beauty of South Africa every day on my channel thanks for opening my eyes I respect that 🇿🇦🇿🇦
My school did that. We called it Spectators! Its a lot of work and practice going into that. Learning the songs and all of that. My school was general smuts high school but they do not have a YT channel i think. It was always beautiful
How I miss these days I'm south African and I play many games for my School and Club and this is one of the most memorable things about school boy rugby
I was a head cheerleader for my school and its not easy to get people to cooperate all the time but the end result is so much fun. These are usually athletics events
Ah Thank you!!!! We South African schools are just a vibe. With school spirit, pride and unity. I go to one of these school who are DEDICATED to these baadjie-projects
Years back when I was at school in South Africa you begin the year with school athletics where almost everyone compete. If you make the cut for the next level (basically the first three places in every event), you are chosen for the inter high. The inter high is a competition against all the schools in the same town/area. This is where you will find cheering like this. It was a HUGE deal and a lot of prestige went with is. The cheerleaders would have special entries into the stadium, almost like the WWE wrestlers. That said, our cheering were not as grand as this, this is something that popped up recently (the last 10-15 years?). Everyone that did not make the cut to compete in the inter high would be drafted for the cheering section and many hours of practice would go into creating custom war cries and songs to "intimidate" your opponents and also cheer on your school. At the end of the the inter high athletics competition there would usually be a special award for the school with the best team spirit. Those were fun days, and the pride and loyalty instilled through this for your school was unrivalled!
athletic days and schools rugby in South African Schools is like College football the US...best times of our youth that we later realize that it what was a blessing to be part of....
Wow - That brought back memories! Important to note that the 2-3 days afterbig meets school was very quite - we had no voices left - they are shouting. And the cheerleaders - mini sergeant majors everyone! 😎
Haha right I can imagine all the voices lost during this! Haha and they have to be sergeant majors trying to get kids to do anything on time is a small miracle in it of itself lol
I miss those days, I was in Hoërskool Garsfontein in South Africa. We tried doing those same ways of cheering but we failed XD its hard to pull off. We ended up just using our voices. The schools here have children practice and cooperate ever few days in the week about 2-3 at least once a week. Its extremely fun, there are taboo songs as well nothing really bad its just songs that piss of other schools. Or trolling the leaders of it, they always direct the next song or the current ones for us to cheer or get ready. Over here its a pleasure and fun to support the sports teams by doing this. We even take buses to athletic events during weeks to support them or weekends most students will attend to cheer on with their uniforms because its all about UNITY and love for the school.
That’s remarkable I wish we had a spirit bus to take our schools around to all the comps! It looks like ya’ll have this school spirit thing figured out! I respect it!
You cannot tell me this is Hoërskool DF Malan??? (High school DF) I'm South African and we used to do this back in 2012. Dis regtig goed gedoen! Eks trots! Hoop julle het die rugby game gewen
SO in South Africa every year during the first few months we have athletics. when the Athletes are training we have the cheerleaders training as well just as hard as the athletes. ON the big day (this day is called InterHigh) all the schools in the district come together to compete in athletics as well as cheerleading. Trust me its very stressful and it takes a lot of preparation. Like legit from the first day of school on beginning of the year they would already start practising. we would have just 2 hours of class everyday for at least 2 months, best time of the year, especially for those who didn't participate, because when class ends in just 2 hours you would then have the whole day to be lazy and slutch around haha. I miss high school. South Africa aka Mzanzi rocks big time. ps. not all the school were like this though, there were plenty of schools in our district that couldn't compete due to their respective circumstances, but those that could compete gave us a run for our money though
The cute soldier boy is showing us something from our own country that many of us haven't seen! I'm more familiar with the cheer sections for schools big rugby matches.
This is dope🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😳 never seen such but DAAAAAMMMMMM and I'm South African. Thou i know we dont play when it comes to school warcries during matches ( Rugby / hockey etc )
I just stumbled on this, but Im currently in this school, DF Malan High ,If im not not mistaken our 2018 anthem, we used it while competing against four other schools in an athletic tournament, also having this preformance as an additional competition, which we won of course 😂😂. But no its not an all boy school, we are mixed Very proud of my school
Mainstream international news will never let you really see my country South Africa. You need to come here and experience it yourself. Yes there are terrible places, but far far more great and amazing places and things to experience.
@@KurtyFloLive It depends on school to school, so my school for example practices 2 hours before school and in the afternoon after school 2 hours.. but we only practice in the afternoon like from 2 months before the competition..
We used to do that in school a lot. When we did athletics and schools competed. Each school did that. It's getting lost, because the kids of today has no discipline
Most of our schools are very disciplined especially the Afrikaans school and private schools..kids are proud to wear the school uniforms also rugby is huge..
Yo flo.. This is a big thing for schools... They have cheering at all their sports events... Check out the Settlers High school one... My daughter attends... They have competitions for these... The whole school practice together...
Ohh it’s a whole school competition? I see I literally know nothing about how this worked but it’s truly amazing to watch! I can definitely check out the settlers as well thanks! I look forward to watching more of these!
It's a high school DF Malan in Cape Town South Africa and it's an athletic event and I am in my last year at DF Malan and it's the best days of my life
ahhh shout out to you for even being a part of this, i would love to watch a bellville version of this too if you got a good link to one please send it to me!
@@KurtyFloLive Yes it's just these four schools that do it. We call it Flashes. So it takes about 3 to 5 weeks to practice and then during the week we do this and on the weekend we have athletics
We had cadets class once a week and if we didn't march or warcry correctly the grade 12's would carry it over into our break being the next period and make us run or do push ups or get physical 😂😂
That’s awesome! I would say you have a lot more school spirit than the States and I could see why, rugby is such an amazing sport wished I woulda found it sooner!
DF done good, and even going up against then scares me. You have no idea the time, discipline and sweat MTBS takes. Recommendation? Stellenberg 2019 and 2020 gives you goosies.
Go to the school, black people are in the minorities. But do keep in mind taking part is this is optional and most of the black or coloured kids do athletics or don't take part at all. The reason there are so few black people in the school is because a few streets down is a school where the majority from neighbouring primary schools rather attend and the school teaches in Afrikaans, not English. Hope this helps.
