INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PANCOCOJAMS COLLECTION OF STOMP & SHAKE CHEERS
This pancocojams collection of stomp & shake cheers documents some stomp & shake cheers for folkloric and recreational purposes.
This collection isn't meant to be a comprehensive compilation of these types of cheers.
All the stomp & shake cheer examples that are given in this collection were retrieved from YouTube videos. The text (words) of these cheers were either provided by the YouTube video's publisher, or were retrieved from a comment in a video's discussion thread, or were transcribed by me from that video.
I began this collection in July 2017 and have periodically added to it by surfing YouTube videos. In addition to the words for these featured cheers, this collection includes videos of some of these cheers, and a limited number of comments from some of those videos' discussion threads.
There are many more stomp & shake cheers that I'd LOVE to add to this compilation, but unfortunately I can't find their words online or I can't understood what is chanted in their videos.
The titles used below for these cheers may not be the only titles that have been used in the past or are now used for these cheers. Also, the words for these cheers may not be the original words, or what were considered the definitive words for that cheer or what are now considered the definitive words for that cheer.
When no title for a cheer is given, I’ve chosen a title for that cheer and sometimes I placed an asterisk next to the title to indicate the fact that this title is my guess.
Readers shouldn't assume that the cheerleading squad who perform these cheers in these video composed those cheers and were the original choreographers of those cheers' movements. A lot of high school and younger cheerleading squads "borrow" from other squads, particularly from some highly regarded university squads.
However, stomp & shake cheerleader squads prize originality and creativity and really disapprove of squads that only copy other school's/university's words and movements.
If your squad uses these cheers, in addition to substituting your high school's name/mascot or your competitor's high school name/mascot, try changing some of the words and some of the movements that your squad performs.
****
Additions and corrections to these cheer examples and the words to these cheers are welcome.
Please add to this compilation for folkloric purposes by sharing words to stomp & shake cheers and/or sharing links to stomp & shake YouTube videos videos in the comment section below. Thanks!

I found that interesting because (since I'm geographically challenged), I didn't realize how close North Carolina and the Washington D.C./Virginia area was. That's significant since it appears from my online research that stomp & shake cheerleading originated in and is still most strongly active in North Carolina and Virginia.

I WANNA KNOW [added July 1, 2017]
I wanna know who that tryna jam like us
don't they know we can't be touched

so _______ don't get no respect
oh you said you want it
but we see you ain't ready
since you can't get with it
then you better forget it
oh there go those miners
oh your hair is sweating
we are number one
and don't you ever forget it
-Manning High School's 2nd cheer in video given below, posted per request by Shanti' Oliver, 2016, with slight changes by Azizi Powell
-snip-
Pancocojams Editor's note:
I've reformatted these words from sentence form to line form and left out the word "like" which was given two times after the word "jam" and, instead of MSH (the high school's initials), I put a space where the high school squad performing this says their high school's initials.
Also, I substituted the word "hair" for "hear", and changed "our" to "their" since I think "our" might have been a typo and "hair is sweating" is supposed to be an insult. The referent "miners" probably is also supposed to be an insult since miners wear hard hats and their hair sweats underneath the hats. Note: When Black people sweat, if our hair isn't chemically straightened, it reverts back to its tightly curled natural state. Some people refer to that hair as "nappy", and for some Black people "nappy" is still considered a high insult.]
Featured video: Bring it On: Manning High School vs. Timberland High School
anidragraham2009 Published on Oct 8, 2010
MHS cheerleaders going head to head in a cheer-off against THS.
-snip-
According to the video uploader, Manning High School is in Manning South Carolina and Timberland High School is in St. Stephens, South Carolina. In response to a comment that the video didn't show Timberland High School's response to the last Manning High School cheer, the video uploader wrote in 2011
"First and Formost, I wrote Anidra Graham, Posted this video onto youtube. Secondly, I will admit, the recording was paused because we thought it was over. The ony thing THS did was tell Manning we get no respect on our territory! Lastly, people need to understand that cheering like this is supose to be FRIENDLY and the comments some of you are leaving, you are taking it too far out of context. THS you ladies represented well and my MHS Lady Monarchs I am proud of you guys! C u guys b-ball season"
-snip-
My guess is that Anidra Graham is the captain of the Timberland High School squad.in 2011
Here are a few additional selected comments from that video's discussion thread-The subject for these comments is using other squad's cheers:
TheKierabethune, 2011
Well as the Captain of the Manning Monarch cheerleading squad; I must say...We as a squad represented well and to thee fullest extent. All of this yall putting on here bout THS is thee best cheer squad and that they have never lost a cheer battle....Yall can CUT IT OUT!! For 1-Stealing cheers from off of YOUTUBE doesn't make your squad thee best!! Anybody can get on there and take cheers && re-enact them. For 2-MHS is ORIGINAL..And thats all it is to it. That was beautiful MHS...Good job THS

LET'S GO BRONCOS
[Pancocojams Editor's note:
I'm making an exception to my rule of only including cheers in this compilation if all of the words to that cheer are found online (in that video's discussion thread) or elsewhere, or if I think that I'm able to transcribe the entire cheer from the video.
The only words that I'm sure of in this cheer are "Let's go Broncos". However, I'm including this cheer's video because the cheerleader squad's performance style is different from any other squad that I've ever seen. Although I've seen historically Black Greek letter sororities rhythmically alternating individual hand claps with knee pats, I don't recall seeing any stomp & shake cheerleaders doing this. That alternating hand clapping/knee patting motion is called "pattin juba". "Hambone" is a form of pattin juba.]
Here's that video:

Fayetteville State University (FSU) is located in Fayetteville, North Carolina. As an aside, most Historically Black Colleges & Universities are in the southern region of the United States. Lincoln University of Pennsylvania is one of two HBCUs in Pennsylvania. The other HBCU in Pennsylvania is Cheyney University of Pennsylvania.

The words are easier to understand in this video. They are:

Broncos.
Let's go, let's go

Notice that the routine that the cheerleaders do for that video is different from the routine that is done in 2015. That 2009 stomp routine is the same as a stomp pattern that is very common in foot stomping cheers.

SASSY does a new cheer!
Here's a portion of an exchange in this video's discussion thread (Note that it is generally acknowledged that the Virginia high school cheerleading squad "Sassy" (from Prince George County High School, Virginia) are taught or otherwise have permission to use Virginia State University (VSU)'s Woo Woo cheerleader cheers, and Sassy is said to perform like "young Woo Woos".
MiQuelW, 2007
"That was so VSU. No disrespect to my Woo Woo's, because again, they taught me what I know. But they should REALLY leave the step shows to the Greeks & Step Teams. Like the whole clapping under an upstomp thing... I mean, that's the only reason people don't take them seriously as a squad. :
But the girls did what they did beautifully. I loved the execution, but I hated the cheer.
-snip-
"upstomp" is a characteristic stomp & shake movement that is performed by lifting one leg in time to the beat with the knee bent and the toes pointed.
**
blkmaverick03, 2007
"That is their thing though and personally it works for them. Seeing as to how long the woo woos have been around there is no telling if these stepshow tricks came from them or greeks.
**
Mrs. Roc Royal Babee, 2011
"@grammerpolise actually the[y] stole it from strikers allstars who stole it from school days who stole it from traditional stepping."
-snip-
"School days" refers to the 1988 Spike Lee movie School Daze which is a "story about fraternity and sorority members clashing with other students at a historically black college during homecoming weekend. It also touches upon issues of colorism and hair texture bias within the African-American community.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_Daze
The words "traditional stepping" in that comment refers to historically Black Greek letter fraternity and sorority stepping.

KORTNI HERNANDEZ, 2012
"@grammerpolise, every team "borrows" a move or two from someone else. Don't get mad because they did it WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

-snip-
The words are easier to understand in this video. They are:
"Let's go
Broncos.
Let's go, let's go
Broncos!"
-snip-
Notice that the routine that the cheerleaders do for that video is different from the routine that is done in 2015. That 2009 stomp routine is the same as a stomp pattern that is very common in foot stomping cheers.

SASSY does a new cheer!
Here's a portion of an exchange in this video's discussion thread (Note that it is generally acknowledged that the Virginia high school cheerleading squad "Sassy" (from Prince George County High School, Virginia) are taught or otherwise have permission to use Virginia State University (VSU)'s Woo Woo cheerleader cheers, and Sassy is said to perform like "young Woo Woos".
MiQuelW, 2007
"That was so VSU. No disrespect to my Woo Woo's, because again, they taught me what I know. But they should REALLY leave the step shows to the Greeks & Step Teams. Like the whole clapping under an upstomp thing... I mean, that's the only reason people don't take them seriously as a squad. :
But the girls did what they did beautifully. I loved the execution, but I hated the cheer.
-snip-
"upstomp" is a characteristic stomp & shake movement that is performed by lifting one leg in time to the beat with the knee bent and the toes pointed.

blkmaverick03, 2007
"That is their thing though and personally it works for them. Seeing as to how long the woo woos have been around there is no telling if these stepshow tricks came from them or greeks.

Mrs. Roc Royal Babee, 2011
"@grammerpolise actually the[y] stole it from strikers allstars who stole it from school days who stole it from traditional stepping."
-snip-
"School days" refers to the 1988 Spike Lee movie School Daze which is a "story about fraternity and sorority members clashing with other students at a historically black college during homecoming weekend. It also touches upon issues of colorism and hair texture bias within the African-American community.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_Daze
The words "traditional stepping" in that comment refers to historically Black Greek letter fraternity and sorority stepping.

KORTNI HERNANDEZ, 2012
"@grammerpolise, every team "borrows" a move or two from someone else. Don't get mad because they did it WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

This concludes Part II of this series.
