All-Star Counting Through Pyramid Sections

[BowsnBling]

I heard this also at our last competition with a team. What the heck? I understand counting at practice during parts of the routine, but that is what music is for while in competition. I hope its not a trend and how did it make it to California so fast???

It did not just make it to california lol, it started in Nor Cal a while ago .....you guys down there can't always be the trend setters lol. :fro:

Were you at gssa? If so I can probably bet you $20 on what team it was as their coach is from the Nor Cal area =).

My team is just going to perform to the 8 count track ... Problem solved

This might be a stupid question but I've only recently noticed that this year the crowd seems to always count "1,3,5,7" throughout the pyramid section of the performing team. Am I just slow and has this been going on longer oder is it new? Just curious.

I only count 1,3,5,7 so i can breathe in between each count lol. But idk about the crowd though. Im used to it.

I do the same thing at practice.... Counting is hard work!

It has definitely been something that has been going around Nor Cal for a while. BowsnBling, I take your $20 and raise to $40 because I can tell you what gym started this trend... and it wasn't mine! : )

The past 4 years as a team we counted out the pyramid on counts that we dipped on to toss elite skills to help insure everybody was dipping together an there were no timing issues

I think it's cute for younger teams but coaches and spectators count so loud you can't even enjoy the music..

The first time I really saw this was Panthers 2010 Worlds and I thought that was only because they completely bombed their pyramid at NCA?

After being at Ca, it's just so automatic now to count when one of our teams is performing. I honestly believe it helps you breathe, hearing it from the audience is incredible & I feel like a pyramid will be stronger.

Yes it was at GSSA. I don't remember the team , just the counting.

I'm not a fan, sometimes the crowds counts are way off...to slow to fast

Like other posters noted- I've only ever heard/noticed it for cheer athletics. On most of their worlds vids, particularly for the ones who competed in jostens, I can hear it. What's funny- now that I know they do it and I'm used to hearing it when watching videos, I subconsciously do it in my head when the pyramid music starts.

So your talking about your cheerleaders counting out loud on the floor? If my cheerleaders did that we would lose points.

No, I'm talking about the coaches/people off the floor.
