Deaf School Cheerleaders from Iowa and Wisconsin Show Their Spirit in Viral Video

Several deaf cheer-squads from various schools across the country have come together to create a viral Facebook reel. To boot, two of the schools are located in Iowa and Wisconsin!

The viral reel was uploaded by ReallyRenca, and features seven schools for the deaf doing the "We're/Of course" trend. I call the trend that because I'm unsure of what else to call it. However, if you're a frequent consumer of TikTok videos or Facebook reels, that's likely all you need to know!

The concept of these videos involves people of a certain status or organization outlining the obvious the conversations or situations they encounter on a day-to-day basis. For example, the video kicks off with two cheerleading coaches from Wisconsin School for the Deaf saying: "we are deaf school cheer coaches, of course we will say '5,6,7,8!'"

The schools featured are: the Wisconsin School for the Deaf, Oklahoma School for the Deaf, Arkansas School for the Deaf, Iowa School for the Deaf, Metro Deaf School, Missouri School for the Deaf, and New Mexico School for the Deaf. The Wisconsin School of the Deaf is located in Delavan; the Iowa School for the Deaf is located in Council Bluffs.

The (mostly silent) video is filled with personality and enthusiasm, and has garnered a lot of positive praise and comments too. The video is not only promoting these great cheer programs across many deaf schools, but also the National Deaf Cheer Competition Tournament, which is taking place in Oklahoma over the last weekend in February.

Here is the transcription of the video, as provided by the description of the reel itself:
