About this cheer
This cheer is never actually called during a game. Instead, it is played both immediately after the Star-Spangled Banner at the beginning of the game, and right before the beginning of the third period of hockey games.
Instrumentation requirements
The bass drum plays a very large part in this cheer (especially starting it).
Dances
On the first two notes, swing your instrument left then right, and after these notes switch directions once per measure, holding the third long measure for 6 beats instead of 4. So the two note pickup goes left, right, then the next 4 beats instrument stays left, the following 4 right, then the 6 after that left again. The whole process repeats twice, but with left and right switched each time so you're always going from one side to the other. The conductor will usually make a large and noticeable movement in the direction your instrument should be pointed in case you get lost.
When you get to the section that's repeated four times, make sure to yell "Hey!" at the fourth beat and feel free to pump your fist in the air if able.
