School Cheers
TRASHER or TRASHER CUT
FEU's main staple cheer. Up to this date, there is no supporting document when the cheer was composed and first used. The earliest known date of its existence is in 2001. From 2001 to 2008, Trasher went 2 re-compositions. First in 2005, when Trasher's beat to 2,2 (8 counts intro and 4x repeat in yelling Let's Go Tamaraws) was changed to 4,4(16 counts intro and 8x repeat in yelling Let's Go Tamaraws) in 2008, Trasher went on to another re-composition. This time the cheer still had 16 counts intro, an a cappella cheer of "Let's go Tamaraws" drums roll (drum beats) then the usual trasher of 8x. The boosters and the Green Bisons renamed the cheer as "Trasher Cut"
RECCA
FEU's oldest existing documented chant. This chant is still being used today exactly as it was 30 years ago. Recca is derived from two languages. Recca or rekka, Japanese word for fire and Summa, Latin word for highest.
GO FIGHT TAMARAWS
With UAAP cheers evolving, FEU needed an alternative cheer to its ageing staple cheer, Trasher. Thus, Go Fight Tamaraws cheer was composed and was first used in 2004 (season 67 of the UAAP). In 2005 Go Fight Tamaraws was recomposed to gave it an "acappella style" with drums beating on the 4th stanza (Go Fight Tamaraws has 10 stanzas)
RAGEFULL
FEU's hip-hop cheer. Composed in 2005, Ragefull finally made its debut in the UAAP after several revisions in 2007.
PONKY
Also known as the FEU forever cheer, composed for FEU's 75th Founding anniversary.
FEU GO FIGHT
FEU's chant for a favorable fight. FEU Go Fight was composed and specifically intended for the 2004 UAAP CheerDance Competition. Today, the chant is still used in the CDC and became the trademark cheer of the FEU Cheering Squad in the CDC.
DE-FENSE
FEU's defense cheer. FEU's old defense cheer was similar to that of the NBA, needing to have a modern and better cheer for FEU's defense, De-Fense was composed and was based on TV PATROL's (an ABS-CBN, ch.2 news program)OST.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or cheers:
“I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and culture merely civil,—to regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than as a member of society. I wish to make an extreme statement, if so I may make an emphatic one, for there are enough champions of civilization: the minister and the school committee and every one of you will take care of that.”
—Henry David David (1817–1862)
“When the weather is bad as it was yesterday, everybody, almost everybody, feels cross and gloomy. Our thin linen tents—about like a fish seine, the deep mud, the irregular mails, the never to-be-seen paymasters, and “the rest of mankind,” are growled about in “old-soldier” style. But a fine day like today has turned out brightens and cheers us all. We people in camp are merely big children, wayward and changeable.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
