The BU Falcons are practicing hard in the hope of cooperating with other BU sports teams and cheer for events.
[wpcol_1half id=”” class=”” style=””]They are also looking for talented new recruits to make a solid team of Falcons.
“As long as you are passionate about cheer-leading, any university students are welcome to join”, said coach Anna Busby.
The members of this society will be selected through a tryout process.
Candidates will be asked to perform a cheer and dance that will be taught by the active coach.
