<p>In "Absolutely American" by David Lipsky, he says that one of the girls is a cheerleader. I think it's a club? That's how it is at the Naval Academy, I think.</p>

<p>The Rabble Rousers look co-ed to me...</p>

<p>They're coed. The majority of them are girls, with about 4-5 guys mixed in. They actually have a JV squad as well. The Spirit Band goes to the major out of town games. I'm not sure if they go to ALL of the away games or not.</p>

<p>I'm in A-4.</p>

<p>Have there been any spirit appearances by the band or rabble rousers this week before the navy game... on one site it showed some links to past years activities</p>

<p>Nah... They'll play tonight, though, at the Spirit Dinner.</p>

<p>The spirit band goes to all the football games. My roommate does spirit band and says that the priority for traveling goes to upperclass first. They also take a few different trips for the A-N game. One group leaves a day early (Thursday) and plays at the Pentagon. They also miss mandatory dinners because they play at them--which means you don't have to come up with some crazy skit for your table.</p>

<p>Also, the cheerleaders (Rabble Rousers) are coed. They are actually fairly evenly divided male-female. They like to do a lot of partner stunts. They are ranked nationally, however they are not NCAA. It is considered a club sport, but they take a small group to all football games.</p>
