STAND ON THE GRANDSTAND
(Yeah, with the line Animo San Beda! Beat _________!)
“Stand on the Grandstand” is unique because it is the only official Bedan cheer that was banned by the SBC administration in the late 70s for being too aggressive. The cheer was dropped from the official cheers hoping to be forgotten. It went underground instead and was used especially during Powwows.
Things changed. The “violence” associated with the cheer was forgotten. Bedans , being true to tradition, slowly revived the cheer in the late 90s. Now it’s back with a vengeance! Our tradition is alive!

P.S.
Kudos goes to UST for dropping their rendition of the “Stand on the Grandstand”.
…when some members read in an online forum that San Beda was claiming the “Animo” cheer as theirs, they looked into the claim. When they found out that the claim had basis, the Yellow Jackets immediately took it off its list of cheers.
