Were you a cheerleader?

[LeggsBenedict]

I can't vote, but no.

[game blouses]

No. I was in the marching band, which I'm pretty sure gets me negative points in the cheerleader question.

[Deleted]

Yes.

[wambam]

No. I played tennis and was in a competition choir.

[pantsparty]

For one year. Then I was a pom girl for 2 years! ::shakes poms::

We didn't hate our band we hated the color guard bitches.  

[sewf]

I cheered for the band (not real cheers, but after they played each time, we cheered for them) since I had more friends in the band than the football team.

I was a dork.

[KKD]

Nope.

[AmeliaBedelia]

Dance team. Much cooler than cheerleading at my high school, lol.

[goaskalice]

In junior high and I was the captain! I got into dance so much I hs that I didn't have time for cheer anymore.

[BlackCanary]

Nope.

I played softball and volleyball in 9th and 10th grade. 

[5hole]

Yes, regular and competition. I hated regular, but they made you do it to be eligible for competition.

I am NOT a peppy person.

[bania]

No

[hisno1girl]

Yes, but then I switched to the pom team. One girl from the cheer team called me Judas for a year.

ETA: I also played softball and volleyball.

[tripleshot]

I think we know my answer.

[CurlyQ284]

No. I was on the volleyball team, choir, yearbook staff and in the senior play.

[puppyluv]

Yes. School team in HS; competative team (not games) for a couple years in college.

I don't know the difference between cheer and pom.

ALL POPULAR SAME.

[Deleted]

We didn't have cheerleaders, just a dance team. I was on the dance team. We did dance at games and compete, but no pom-poms or cheering.

[picaflora]

I did in middle school (not sure if that counts?). In elementary school 3 of my friends and I would do the "cheer camp" put on by the high school cheerleaders. It was 2-3 days of teaching us basic cheers, dances, and stunts.

In jr high/high school I did marching band. We tended to "cheer" along with the cheerleaders when we couldn't play.

The pom girls were more popular in my school. However, my participation in our theater program invalidated my own popularity with the group.

[AHappierHour]

No I played sports like softball, volleyball

ETA- I know cheer is considered a sport now too.

Same here. 
I am so anti peppy is not funny yet some how was a pro cheerleader for 3 seasons.

[Deleted]

No, I was too busy being bored in all of my gifted classes.

[rupertpenny]

No, I tried out but didn't make the team. I am so un-peppy that despite the fact I was a gymnast and could tumble better than most everyone else I still got cut.

We did too! Keep your flags straight and stop ruining our show!

[CheshireGrin]

I was basically the anti-cheerleader. Tomboy geek with goth leanings. Yeah.

[Deleted]

No. I tried out every year, though.

Lame, party of one?

ALL POPULAR SAME.

Cheerleaders were at all of the games.
Poms only performed at home games.

Cheerleaders were the games from beginning to end.
Poms only came out at halftime.

Cheerleaders cheered & got the fans involved.
Poms say nothing.

Cheerleaders do lots of tumbling, lifts, and throws.
Poms did not do any of those things, but it may be different now.

Every once in a while the cheer team would ask the pom team if they could borrow our poms.  We laughed in their faces and told them to go make more signs and make due with their megaphones.

I can't believe I remember all of this from so long ago.
