2017 UAAP Cheerdance Competition
|Events|
As of yesterday, December 2, 2017, one of the most
awaited events in the field of sports here in the Philippines took place at the
Mall of Asia Arena. The 2017 UAAP Cheerdance Competition, and luckily I’ve had
the chance to get some tickets to watch it live, and this is an entry for my
blog to share how my 1st CDC experience was.
Okay, so this started with a whole lot of worrisome because
I know that it’s one of the most awaited events every year and the SM Tickets
decided to sell tickets on a day where there was no classes, which was a good
thing because I can get some myself but a bad thing because there’s a lot more
people wanting to get tickets especially students from the universities. I came
in to the waiting line at 3 am at November 30th and my queue number
was already 519 because they started queuing the day before, so some was
already in line at 8 pm of Nov 29.
The line was a struggle because you have all these people
with you, anticipating to get some tickets just like me plus battling with some
SCALPERS which was really a pain in the butt. In the end I only got some Gen Ad
Tickets but for me nonetheless I still got some unlike others who waited for hours but got nothing. FYI, me and my group which were in line, we waited for a
whole 9 hours to get some tickets and I could say that is some dedication.
On the day of the event, an early start again for me
because for Gen Ad we only have free seating so it’s First Come, First Serve
policy for us so we will need to be early if want to get good seats. Luckily me
and my brother were fast enough to get some good seats at the side of Far
Eastern University which is the side of where the Cheerleaders will be facing.
The event was full of fun and energy, especially with our
side because we were beside National University which is a very supportive
community with their Pep Squad, plus all the drummers in our area to keep the
crowd loud and going. The following was the line-up of performances and
some highlights I captured from my seat section:
NU Pep
Squad
#AllOutOn5
DLSU
Animo Squad
#japANIMO
AdU Pep
Squad
#80sFor80
FEU
Cheering Squad
#FourElementsUnite
UE Pep

#UnEnding
#UnExpected #UltimatE
UP Pep
Squad
#KwentongIsko
#MaroonAkoIsko
UST
Salinggawi Dance Troupe
#ParaSaUSTe
ADMU
Blue Babble Batallion
#OneBigFight
Quite frankly, this was one of the most anticipated
seasons yet because 1st UP Pep Squad’s Comeback prior to them not
performing in 2016, 2nd is NU Pep Squad going for UAAP CDC’s 2nd
5-peat team, and 3rd a season where all the teams are expected to be
better which they totally showed to all of us.
Winners? Well you can just check out your Timeline and
you’ll see the list in detail. The real shock was AdU Pep Squad claiming the
crown, especially when they are newcomers to be in the podium like last year, being
in 2nd runner up and this year being the Champions. So congratulations
to the new champs, and now I’m really excited for next year’s especially with
NU Pep Squad because I’m expecting them to be BEASTS again in the playing
field.
CONGRATS
TO ALL THE TEAMS AND THE UNIVERSITIES! Til’ next year’s UAAP Cheerdance
Competition and hopefully I could finally be in one of those schools!
