MANILA, Philippines – The pep squads of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) member schools are ready to strut their stuff on Sunday when the 2010 UAAP Cheerdance Competition gets underway at the Araneta Coliseum.
The Far Eastern University (FEU) Cheering Squad will aim to defend its title against the Adamson University (AdU) Pep Squad, Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) Blue Babble Battalion, De La Salle University (DLSU) Animo Squad, National University (NU) Pep Squad, University of the East (UE) Pep Squad, University of the Philippines (UP) Pep Squad, and University of Santo Tomas (UST) Salinggawi Dance Troupe.
The Ateneo Blue Babble Battalion was the 1st runner-up in 2009 while the UP Pep Squad was the 2nd runner-up.
The UAAP pep squads are now calling on their respective school communities to show up at the Big Dome or simply support their bid for cheerdance supremacy.
Several squads made known through their official Facebook pages other ways to support them.
The UP Pep Squad called on UP community members who will troop to the Big Dome to wear a white shirt under a maroon top. They were told to take off their maroon tops and wave them in the air after the UP Pep Squad ends its routine.
The UST Salinggawi Dance Troupe, meantime, invited its supporters to show their support on Facebook by adding Twibbons to their profile pictures.
The Twibbon reads, “I CHEER GO USTe! UST SALINGGAWI DANCE TROUPE.”
Fayn Artees, a group of designers that makes UAAP shirts, posted on the FEU Cheering Squad Facebook page that it has limited edition shirts for the 2010 UAAP Cheerdance Competition.
The shirt has the text “I cheer for the FEU Cheering Squad.”
Other words of support and encouragement can be found at the pages of the Ateneo Blue Babble Battalion, DLSU Animo Squad, UAAP Cheerdancers and UAAP Cheerdance Competition.
