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:
“Dissonance between family and school, therefore, is not only inevitable in a changing society; it also helps to make children more malleable and responsive to a changing world. By the same token, one could say that absolute homogeneity between family and school would reflect a static, authoritarian society and discourage creative, adaptive development in children.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
“Two cheers for Democracy: one because it admits variety and two because it permits criticism.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
