You think that the spirit award is chosen from a hat? You've obviously never sat in front of CD at a regional. The cheering coming from that section scared the parents half to death at our first regional and they very much deserved that award. As to encouraging cheering? I'm not sure why they wouldn't. Talk to the kids and find out why they don't cheer. Is it because their minds are elsewhere? They think they'll look silly? Once you find out why they won't cheer, it will be a lot easier to deal with those issues one on one.
