About this cheer
Instrumentation requirements
This cheer is started by a single trombone.
History
This cheer is not (actively) called by the conductor. It is used extensively by the trombone section to veto a cheer (most typically Tarantella) that they either aren't ready to play or don't want to play. It is also used to fill any quiet moments when there is no cheer called and there is no music playing on the PA system (exceptions being times when the quiet is appropriate, such as a moment of silence, a player down, etc). It can only be started by a trombone, per tradition. However, a bari sax or even a sousaphone has been known to impede on the tradition. The louder and more annoying, the better. Some band members finish this cheer by saying "Down at Fraggle Rock!", because of the similarity of this cheer to the theme song for Fraggle Rock.
