Does anyone in YF have experience as a chior master, or band
conductor of any type? We could do with someone to strand at the
botttom (or middel) of our aisle and lead the singing!!
Otherwise we could lack the unity and focus needed to make a
good solid noise, and just wind up like a bunch of rugby fans all
doing our own thing.

People are either going to sing, or not, regardless of if there is a choir master.
If there is enough like-minded people who want to sing, they
will naturally gravitate together and have fun. Like anything
in this country, there will be a few people who hang around the
edges of the group, and enjoy the banter and atmosphere, but will
not join in. Unless we give the Choir Master a whip, that
will not change.
All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight
Id love to get to English football stage of crowd support, but i
think we got a long time till we get near that!
You need 1 person, generally the funniest f**ker ever with the best
wit, to start and lead all/most songs. See Richard from the bloc 5
I dont think a Choir person would make much of a difference. I
think it just comes down to chemistry, like we need to start our
base off strong and keep it going.

What we need for the opening game are the Ultra brothers, along with the ringleaders of the Fever in the centre and firing things up...
Ye im keen. We need a huge fan base tho. Whos keen to get season
tickets and how much would they be do u think? And where do we want
to sit? Behind the goal or at half way? Hardcore Fans tend to sit
behind the goal. We want people that will chant as well not jst sit
there.
Sounds like you need a few of us Jafas to get the ball rolling.

You lot had your chance.
More than one ,in fact.
Does anyone know when the season tickets go on sale?
No time soon. Fever are getting tickets for members near corner
flag. Please don't make me repeat this again

Quit the bashing kid. I spent seven good years on the sideline
supporting the Kingz and the Knights. I paid my dues and it weren't
my fault the club failed.

No bashing mate, just my Welly genes flaring up! 
In all seriousness the boys sound like they could use
a hand at organised suppporting. If they think it's just a common
vibe thing and it'll all come together on the night, they're
kidding themselves!
You need a capo, fellas!
There'll be plenty from the Bloc there on opening day I'm picking.
Trying to organise a day pass myself, should be worth the airfare.
How much would it be dail? Also, you do need us as non of you want
to lead!
The Ultra bros did most of the leading, although if anyone came up
with a good song we generally went with it. After a couple of ales
it ain't too hard.
yep, organisation is definitely going to help.... especially here
in NZ where the tendency is to either sit stoically and only
grumble about the ref, or have dreadful, monotone, two-syllable
chants that come out like the drone of a dying man.
whoever is leading off needs to be a little organised as well,
or at least have a couple of tunes ready to go...
m guessing theyll be more than one person seeing as one person
controlling 3-6 hundred isnt an easy task.
Perhaps the term "chior master" was a bad word. Cehck out this vieo
doe see what I mean: Down near the front, the 2 guys facing the
crowd with a white and red shirts on, He's the Bayern Munchen
'Choir Master". Someone like this is what many fans have (the
really organised ones anyway).
well im a muso/composer so i could do it, but i think you'll need
more than one person to conduct if no ones really keen, but on the
other hand if everyone in the area is keen it should work without a
"conductor"
some one mentioned ages ago that we should have a preseason gathering some where to go through the chants.....whoever is writing them
i think this is a great idea, it will also boast our profile in the city

Yeah i dont think anyones set a time and place for practice, and at
this rate of off topic threads, well never get a venue.
That probably has more to do with the fact that the leaders appear
to have more sense than to organise it... you don't have a practice
for your chants. They come from inspiration on the day.
Turn up at a practice and chant ? oh dear.
There are at least two pre-season cup games to be played, by the sound of it at the Basin Reserve ? That's where you might think about starting to get things working. Anything else and you just look like you are trying too hard.

Who gives a rip if it "looks" like were trying too hard. We
want to be bloody fantastic from day one, for the sake of our
players, to fire them up!
We don't have the benefit of 5 years experience together, so
it may take us 5 - 10 games to get sorted. However, I don't think
we really need to arrange some pre-game singing contest or practice
though. But not for the reason of "looking" a particualr way. I
just don't think we'd get enough peeps together in an "appropriate"
(logistically) venue (such as a game) to make it worthwhile.
I'm sure that the folks who come down from Bloc 5 can assist
us for the first wee while too. And who knows, maybe some of them
will decide to make the move permanent. . . . .. . .
I think the pre-season games are our opportuntiy to get
organised. Let's hope we can get enough folks along to them
to make it happen.
???? yea im 18, bloc 5 helping us???? this is a little strange to
me like gate 7 and gate 13 shaking hands after a derby match. Im
all for a preseason game to go over the chants we need to be
organised from match one other wise it would kill the hype of the
first game.
OK Folks, more video showing how DRUMS and CHIOR MASTER can work at
a football game. This one goes out to all you folks who hate drums
cos you've only every seen them at rugby games:
When the camera pans to the left, keep your eye open on the
front row, drummer and chior master facing the crowd. This is what
I'm talking about.

And another one: same group

watch the time-bar - it takes 3 seconds from the time the frist
guys start jumping behind the goal for the song to be picked up by
1/4 of the stadium!!
How so quick? The drummer and leader down the front. Without
this a song might have to be sung 3 or 4 times before everyone
picks it up.

Are you thick?
I thought so. This club needs all the help it can get, and Bloc 5
are the most experienced supporter group in this country, so to not
welcome the help with open arms is f**king stupid

Agreed.
for some reason i though bloc 5 was austrailian, my mistake....ill
do my homework next time. To be honest i didnt think nz had any
thing like that... why doesnt yf just merge into bloc 5 or have
some kind on union like mad boys gate 13
Because Bloc 5 are auckland based and I dont think that the boys
are gonna travel down to every game
i mean start a wellington sect/union or somthing, bloc 5 sounds
better than yellow fever
