Ready to to go" chant. <br /><br />However, as a community folklorist, I'm interested in documenting, sharing information, and hopefully promoting discussion about the structure & different uses of call & response chants. <br /><br />I also don't mean to imply that what I refer to as "completion call & response chants" and "echo call & response chants" are the only possible forms of chants.<br /><br />A non-standard form of call & response chant that I've noticed occurs in a form of children's informal playground cheer that I've named "foot stomping cheers". A signature form of that cheer is that the "call" is actually from the group, and the response is from an individual in the group. The term I use for this form of call & response is "group/consecutive soloist" ("consecutive" because the cheer is repeated either exactly-except for identifying information such as the soloist's name or nickname- or the cheer is repeated with a relatively fixed rhyming lines until every member of the group has one turn as the soloist.<br /><br />For more information and examples of "Foot Stomping Cheers", visit this page of my cultural website:<br /><br /><a href="http://cocojams.com/content/foot-stomping-cheers-0" rel="nofollow">http://cocojams.com/content/foot-stomping-cheers-0</a>.<br /><br />Thanks!
