ADDITIONAL EXAMPLES
These examples are given in chronological order based on their publishing date with the earliest example in this pancocojams post dated 2013 is given first. However, examples of these cheers were probably performed before 2013.
I believe that the routines that are performed by the cheerleaders in all of these showcased videos except Showcase video #3 are either examples of traditional middle school or high school (basketball affiliated) cheerleading or a combination of traditional cheerleading and stomp and shake middle school and high school cheerleading.
The performance routine that is done by the cheerleaders in this post's Showcase video #3 is an example of stomp and shake cheerleading. This is only one possible stomp and shake routine that has been performed for "He Traveled" cheers and other cheers in this sub-category.
*The pronoun "He", "She", or "You" are used in these cheers based on the gender of the person who "traveled"/"walked" or dependent on the particular version of this cheer that is performed.
