Looking For Help With Words

[sherpamelissa]

I'm a coach of a JV cheer squad that cheers for recreational football. I am looking for help with our half-time cheer. I have this so far, but feel like I need another stanza or two. Any ideas would be appreciated. TIA!

I am making some progress on my own, but would still love some input...

I've added a little

Ok, I think I've got it, but I would appreciate if anyone is willing to chant it and see where there are timing issues.

You switch rhyme schemes a little and rhythmically it might throw them off. You start off with a traditional ABAB but then switch to ABCC and then go to AAAA. I would suggest changing the second stanza to

The cameras are ready
Attention over here
Time to join our fan club
This is our year

And the third to:

The curtain is up
On the blue gold and white
Monee Mavericks

It's just a personal preference of mine that the rhyme scheme be continuous, but I find it helps them keep the pace better

Thank you!

I knew I was missing something with the pacing, but this isn't really my skill set.
