So how about our school's having a pep rally the last period of our school day on Friday. laugh.gif It's the first one we've had in a long time. I don't even go to football games anymore...but I think I heard on some local sports show that they predict our team's supposed to do well this year. We have a new athletic director, and I think he's the one who started this pep rally thing. So do your schools have pep rallies, too? I've only seen them in movies and whatnot and always found it odd because our school never had any. mellow.gif
jooleeah
i think sixth graders at our school only get a "pep ralley". but i dont see what the point of it is...we really have nothing to be proud of -_-" and even if we did...it would be kinda funny xD cause our school initials are " pms" so it would be like " WOOO GO PMS!"
edit-- what i meant by our school pep rallies is like, those random assemblys.
Rachel
yeah we have pep rallies

usually before a big football game or what not lol


we also have regular assembilies <---spelling? they are boring and just give the cheerleaders a chance to shake what their momma gave em

Mr. Psychotic

Pep rallies at our school are a lot of fun. Fishies are always so lost looking... *giggles* But the marching band squishes in to the gym, and pretty much EVERYONE else in school, too. We have AWESOME chants and songs, which the ColourGuard gets to dance to with our flags. The cheerleaders do a few cheers, and our dance team dances (we call those two groups the 'strippers in training' because of the way they dance/move.) Our football team suxors, but it always has. No one goes to the game or the rallies to see the team, it's all about the band... ^.^

The One, The Only.
Jaguar Band.

we have spirit rallys.
the shorten the day about 8 minutes and so its at the end of the day. so techncially you can ditch it. so everyone does except for people in it like marching band, drill team, al lthe sports in that season and yea..
security guards try to chase us..
hehe
but they are incredibly boring.

We have a Pep Rally every year and its one of the biggest events. We get a day out of school for ^^
inthemudhole
Hm.
Our school doesn't have pep rallies.
Maybe we'll have 'em once I get into high school.

our school has pep rallies every friday i think, for the entire football season. im not sure. last friday was the first pep rally and us freshman [go fish! happy.gif ] got booed at, and we were like mellow.gif ok. the upperclassmen already told us. but i heard it gets worse everytime. like last year they wrapped freshman in toliet paper and made them race across the gym.

woohoo spartan pride!
elmogurly
yeah we have them. like assemblies/ pep rallies and stuff. the cheerleaders were all ready and they didn't even perform. that was weird.

we haven't even picked a mascot yet..us freshmen.. happy.gif

we had a pep rally last friday... probaly last one in a long time.

that morning, we had 3 fights... okay. pep rally at end of day, they have 2 pep rally's, for north side of school and southside of school (the school is big rectangular shape and is 1/8th of a mile long seriously). after the end of the 1st show and ppl were coming out for 2nd one.. there were 4 more fights in the main hallway (the main hallway is the 1/8th of a mile long thing).. it was crazy...

i go into my class and all the sudden, i see this kid running and the "quiet AP" running and tackle the kid down and said "YOU AINT GOING NOWHERE" i though it was hilarious and so did the whole class.

well that's that.. pep rallys are okay tho.
IIO__oII
yea.. we get em. do most of em in the gym...
DisneyPrincessKate
my school is very obesessed with football, so yes, we have them. Once, my sister and her friends tried to ditch it, but they got caught. So as soon as they announce the varsity football team her and her 4 friends walked in the gym. it was hilarious. laugh.gif

My school has a pep rally every few months. I rarely go though, I would rather use that time to do something else tongue.gif
SarahxJoy
Yeh, we have pep rallies. We just had one last friday. Personally, I actually enjoy them, 'cause we get to get out of class earlier, and I lyke the music they play. happy.gif I'm into the football team and dance team too, but not so much in the cheerleading. Lol, there was this one girl who almost fell when the others had to hold her up. Hrm, wonder how she got on the team.. ermm.gif

And plus, both our junior varsity and varsity football team kick butt. We went against this school called Rancho, and played two games against 'em the scores were 66-2 (junior varsity game) and 68-0 (varsity game). biggrin.gif Show that school spirit! Lol. Dork.. wacko.gif

AznKutie
Nope...never had them..sounds like fun though..uhhh wat is it again?
ikayto
all you do at pep rallies is just stand and watch the cheerleaders prance around and play music. biggrin.gif

pretty boring; only thing that draws peole there is the loud booming bass and cough skirts ^_^
FreeStickers
Yeah, we have it for all the sports. I dont really like them. We have no choice but to go.
Angelos
loli do sports but i have no spirit at all.
angel-roh
we always have it when we get against with other school teams hehe... our school has so many spirits that they dress up for the spirits for sports & such... well im not that spiritual to my school hehe i guess im reallie not an outgoing person eheh
tweeak
like one or 2 a year maybe...it doesnt help me to get out of class because i almost have to work more being in marching band. the disadvantages are greater than the advantages. heat, cheerleaders, etc

we had a "community pep rally" a few weeks ago and it was incredibly useless. a bunch of little kids trying to act tough or peppy because their parents have just spoiledtheir chances of them ever becoming a well-adjusted band geek *sigh* but i just go really distracted...but practically no one came and ww had to stand there in the heat and playy the crappy fight song over and over and over and it was a total waste of time

I have no school spirit, but my rally was today. We cheered, played games, and every grade level did little skits. omg.. eggs were thrown at the freshmans.

I can honestly say now that my lack of school spirit is in no way contingent on how the school is doing itself.
no-name
they canceled ours this year
Statues/Shadows
We have one tomorrow for homecoming. I am consierably less than thrilled, especially since we have to rehearse before and after it.
HakunaMatata
I love rallies, they can get so fun. Yeah, parts are boring, but the class skits are always the best. throb.gif
GlecieC
Yea we have pep rallies. Except we just call them rallies.
Ours is on Friday and I can't wait!!
We have the best rallies in the district. It's crazy loud and really fun.
Whichever class has the most spirit wins money for their class. Pure fun. CLASS OF 2009!!!!
Statues/Shadows
Fun? I have yet to attend a sing'e "fun" pep rally. And the class skits are lame.
kynacolada
Yeah we have pep rallys at our school.
It's to honor the students that don't have any F's or U's on their report cards.
It's not very hard not to fail a class,
yet not a lot of kids get to go the rallies.

At our school's rallys,
we get free t-shirts _smile.gif

my high school had them, its a tradition, and we have spirt week where everyone decorates thier hallway but diff class each day so seniors are the last and we get into it a lot, but it depends on the class like when i was a senior our class didn't care as much as the sophmores did but its cool, and this year i went back to homecoming with my friends cause we came back from college to visit and we won.. we have a good football team =]

I honestly hate pep rallies. I think that they are a waste of time, and I always feel out of place because I'm one of those people who never cheer, at least not in situations like those.
DarkImpressions
HECK YEAH,Wow where do you go to school?
YourSuperior
I don't like pep rallies as much as I used to when I was in junior high. They seemed more fun.
Statues/Shadows
I think there's a pep rally Thursday. I hope I don't have to go. It will be interesting to see if people are peppier now that our school seems to have the number one football and basketball teams in the state.
xlilaznchickx
we have pep rallys in our school..i like it..its sorta fun and we get to skip class.. laugh.gif
xhidethedetails
We have them.
I hate them though it mostly revolves all around the cheerleaders.
Then all the guys gape at them.
But it's nice to get out of class.
Statues/Shadows
We have a pep rally Tuesday that was supposed to be for the success of the football team and the recently begun basketball season, but the football team just lost, so this should hopefully be amusing.
