UP Pep Rocks!
Congratulations to the UP Pep Squad, the 2007 UAAP Cheerdance Competition Champions! I had goosebumps after watching their flawlessly executed routine, I haven’t felt that way since UP won the crown in 2001. This is welcome news after UP’s dismal 0-14 showing this UAAP Men’s Basketball season.
Mimi was able to shoot photos of the cheerdance competition and break in our new Canon 40D.
The whole UP community showed up in full force!
UP’s theme this year is “Rock” which they incorporated with their costume and hairstyle.
The Pep Squad seconds before announcing the winner.
A nice gesture from the defending champions.
The UP crowd singing “UP Naming Mahal”.
UST’s SDT placed second and as usual they were in top form.
The FEU ‘Penguins’ doing their ‘Happy Feet’ routine.
When the UE Warriors came out the dugout, I had a sudden 80’s flashback of Debraliz in the same aerobics attire. 
A picture worth a thousand jokes. *peace* hehe
NU Bulldogs in their Cyclops attire.
More photos to follow!

For the first time in years, I liked UP’s performance and costume. I knew they would win the minute their routine ended. I screamed like a banshee after Gawi was announced as 1st runner-up. LOL

Am a former UP Pep Member and I feel so HAPPY we won the crown back. The last time we won was 2001 pa (Thank God I was with that batch!)
May archive ba kayo ng pics from as early as 1999? Hehehe… Baka sakali nakuhana niyo kami ng pics na nuon.
Bow ako sa galing ng pics at ng Pep! =)

Good afternoon Mimi.
We have a project in our Journalism class wherein we’re required to publish a mini newspaper. I was just wondering if I could use some of your 2007 Cheerdance Competition photos? We’ll cite you as our source.
