Welcome to the second chapter of the art and science of Pepidemiology, focusing on supplemental music and cheers First, a moment to define what we mean by each term for the layperson:
-Supplemental music: Music played by a band or from the booth assisting in the creation of an atmosphere beneficial to the home team NOT including their designated fight song. Examples include USC’s “Tribute to Troy,” the playing of the “Imperial March” at Miami, and “Hold That Tiger,” played by the Clemson, LSU, Missouri, and Princeton bands for their team.
-Cheers: anything chanted in unison to enhance pro-home team vibe or anti-visiting team attitude. Examples include just about anything Texas A&M does with their Yell Captains, the Seminole war chant, and “Go Blue” at Michigan.
