being quiet is the exact opposite of what a pep rally is for
I hated them though because I have a bit of a phobia involving large crowds of people.
also, my school's pep rallies were handicapped because they made it more about interclass (as in freshman, sophomore, etc.) rivalries rather than actual team rivalries.
So nobody was cheering for the timberwolves, they were cheering for freshmen or seniors.
it was always funny to watch the elephants of the step team come tromping out onto the floor, though.
