During high school, you get to experience so many exciting things. That includes pep rallies. A pep rally is usually held just before the start of a sporting event when the cheerleaders get the crowd ramped up for the game. Pep rallies are well-organized, fun, and full of energy.

A great show

A one high school pep rally, the cheerleaders walked on the floor before a basketball game was about to kick off. They had a solid plan that the crowd, faculty, and players would love. To perform their routine, they chose three songs, including “Love Yourself” by Justin Bieber, “Work” by Rihanna, and “Boss” by Firth Harmony.

Getting ready

Dressed in their blue and black cheer outfits, a huge squad heads to the center of the basketball court. Along with a lot of gals, you can see the school’s mascot. They’re pumped up and eager to get the crowd going so that during the game, everyone will scream and cheer.

Incredible talent

The cheerleading squad first gets into a tight circle. Then, they do a wave. As soon as they get to the last person, they separate to spread across the floor while facing the crowd before doing a few awesome moves.

You can feel the energy

From the very start, you can feel the energy coming from these students. With the music blaring in the background, they work hard to make everyone feel enthusiastic about the upcoming game. They nail the routine.

It can’t get any better

Oh, but it does. As the crowd watches the cheerleaders perform, they have no clue that something unprecedented is about to happen. Although the cheer team is fantastic, it doesn’t take long before things go to the next level.

The crowd gets a surprise

At the 2:10 marker, the cheerleaders all slide on the floor off to the side to clear the center of the basketball court. Then from both sides, you notice other people walking in. They’re not dressed in the same attire but everyone immediately goes crazy because they recognize who they are.

Teachers want to have fun, too

That’s right, those people in tee shirts and blue jeans are the teachers of the high school. But what on earth are they doing in the middle of the cheer team performing to “Boss?” Well, it seems as though they don’t want to be left out of all the fun.

What are they up to?

With the cheerleaders now on the sideline, the teachers take over the pep rally. After getting into rows, they begin to strut their stuff. And we have to admit, they’re pretty darn good.

The crowd goes crazy

That was the whole point of the teachers doing a performance. While the crowd was already super excited for the game, they’re now hooting and hollering so loud it’s almost impossible to hear the music. But that doesn’t stop the teachers from hitting every beat.

Just as the cheerleaders did at the start of the pep rally, now it’s the teacher’s turn to make a circle. With the mascot in the middle, they’re clapping and jumping. At this point, everyone in the auditorium does the same … this is probably the coolest pep rally ever, which you can watch by clicking on the video below.
