What the video is about
A group celebrating good news in the loudest way possible. Remakes keep the sign and the scream and change the words, the school or the cast. This site has no tie to any school, and it never draws a crest or logo.
Questions people ask
Is the trend only about one school?
It began with one, but the format works for any news you want on a sign.
Why does everyone scream?
It is the reaction beat of the clip: the sign goes up and the group erupts.
Is the trend tied to a language or country?
It started in the United States, but the format needs no speech, so it works anywhere.
