Basic Ways of Cheer

A tool is required to cheer. To tell the truth, even if there is no tool, although we can cheer, it is insufficient for encouraging a player. What kind of tool do cheering teams use when they cheer? I want to talk about these this time. It seems that these are accepted by aid of a sport on the whole. Although baseball is mentioned as an example, I want you to read the following texts with the view which is not bound by cheering style of baseball.

As the last column shows, it is the beginning of cheer that a spectator began to perform a trumpet. The cheer using a trumpet spreads and a drum and a whistle came to be used gradually. There was a professional baseball team whose cheering is using only a drum or the whistle without using a trumpet. Why did such a thing happen? It is because each of cheering team wanted to adopt the special feature. It is not interesting even if all the professional baseball teams do same cheering. As it is, cheering teams devised and tried to make the special feature. There are professional baseball teams which stopped use of the trumpet for another reason. A reason is a noise problem. When a ballpark is surrounded by many residences, the sound of cheering will sound in the residential area of night, and will make you trouble. Even now there are ballparks which forbid using musical instruments for cheering.

Now, the device of cheering was described. In order to heap up cheering, there are professional baseball teams which prepared the brass band. They are the Chiba Lotte Marines and Hankyu Braves. The Chiba Lotte Marines invited the brass band of the Narashino high school for cheering together. Why did the Narashino high school take over this request? Of course, the player who belongs to the Chiba Lotte Marines was concerned. The player's name is FUKUURA Kazuya. After graduating from the Narashino high school, he became the player of the Chiba Lotte Marines. He is still working as a professional baseball player. FUKUURA Kazuya is from the Narashino high school, location of the Narashino high school and the headquarters of the Chiba Lotte Marines are the same which is Chiba, and the brass band of the Narashino high school is nationally famous. The cheering team of the Chiba Lotte Marines decided to invite the brass band of the Narashino high school for reasons of these.

Two brass bands which described above played cheer songs which charms a spectator. Although such a thing is not performed these days, I would like to hear it once again very much. In professional baseball, the plan of playing a game whose players wear a reproduction uniform performed sometimes. When this plan is performed, a cheering team may have played old favorite cheer songs. I would like you to hear it.

The History of Cheer of Baseball

Sports: These bring about energy, courage, and impression for people. Sports have an element which people want to cheer gradually and become. Mainly talking this time is about cheer of a sport. I think that especially I talk about cheer of baseball. Of course, I also plan to describe cheer of other sports. It is happy if you read this text.

First, I will talk about the history of cheer of baseball. Cheer of baseball serves as tradition now. The history goes back to 1975. When the Hiroshima Carp had caused the boom, a one spectator began to perform the song for cheering of a player whose name is Koji Yamamoto on a trumpet. This performance acquired popularity from other spectators, and other players' song was made gradually. At the time, such as NAGASHIMA Shigeo and OH Sadaharu, the cheer by a cheering team didn't exist, but the individual was enjoying watching a game as mind was suitable. It is checked that the Yakult Swallows was preparing and cheering the cheering team in 1978. Other professional baseball teams began to make a cheering team from these days, and the base of cheer of baseball was established. Whenever cheer was activated, the individual songs increased and songs at the time of a chance came to be made. However, it was not easy for cheer to progress. Before the base of cheer was established, a member of a cheering team performs a few between innings in the infield sheet behind the player's bench. Gradually, the performance increased excessive, the player complained to a cheering team, and the cheering team has been taken to the outfield sheet. The opinion on cheer by a cheering team is various. To be sure, cheer encourages a player, the circumference is heaped up and a professional baseball team can act with a spectator in game. However, the cheer by a cheering team becomes rather obstructive for the spectator who wants to observe himself liking. The cheer by a cheering party is built to act together. However, by the whole spectator, cheer is the same as restraint for such a spectator. The cheer style which changes by the current of the times. Probably, establishment of the cheer style united with various spectators' needs is a future subject. Now, could you understand them?

How did cheer spread? It was early that cheer by the cheering team using a trumpet was known by the public. It is a special edition on television that there was especially influence. It was not different from now which was the pros and cons for this cheer style. The comment of the person who actually looked at cheer influenced, and it spread gradually, too.

Moreover, the Hiroshima Carp has brought about various reforms about the cheer style. The Hiroshima Carp took in a new thing rapidly in the cheer industry, such as cheer while carrying out a squat, the cheer using a jet balloon, and a banner for cheering. Various professional baseball teams have taken these in cheer now.
