it was amazing to see people in 105/205 and 127/227 getting in on the Slow Clap.
As Jack said, hopefully this leads to other stadium wide stuff.

pfft, did camera phones even exist in 2012 lol
lol
I'm not gonna dig hard for footage of the clap being done for the 60 minutes investigation. "Take that you Viking scum!"
The fact that we even call it the 'slow clap' and not 'viking chant' or whatever haha.
Defo enjoyed getting a good view of the spread on Saturday. Hats off everyone, fun times.
Love the coordination effort between Capos. There was one bit when 114 was a little ahead of 112 on a chant, 114 capo held his group for a sec longer to get back in sync with 112 again. Thing of beauty.

Aghghg the second half clap some boners in the NE corner tried to be heros and time the cue, did it too soon and we are clapping like a bunch of idiots until it's going fast right at the end.
The only issue was there was only 20 or 25 of us doing it so no one heard itBut yes, I can vouch for NEE doing the slow clap.
eli / anthony / stellios are always great with linking up. we do need to have a chat about busting out "shalalala" though, that one's definitely an energy drainer with the slow beat and it's impossible to link up when they start it up because they purposely start it up quiet.
shout out to the drum team on saturday as well - you guys make a killer team and you held it down all game.
also, i don't know who was there for the last 10 minutes but fuck.. that dude was killing it!! does anyone have a video of those samba beats?
From 112, row 7, 2nd half
O, Maple Leaf around the world, You speak as you rise high above,
Of courage, peace and quiet strength, Of the Canada that I love.
Remind us all, our union bound by ties we cannot sever,
Bright flag revered on every ground, The Maple Leaf forever
The shalala in 114 is amazing. It's so loud in that section. Maybe it's just the way it's orchestrated that's different between 114 and 112.
Sha la la is very tough to sync. Eli uses tempo variance in 114 to really good effect to keep the energy up. Otherwise, the energy drops due to repetition and simplicity. The down side is that the tempo variance makes it impossibly to sync. I understand why it isn't working out to full effect outside of 114. However, you guys gave it a really good go at the start of the second half (raised our energy when we heard you guys working it too, so we kept it going for 6+ minutes).
Reds go marching in has some similarities.
Looking forward discussing it further in the pre/post games. Maybe we can find something better in the long term.

To the drummer gentleman (sorry i forgot your name bro, will remember next time):
Pre-game we talked about how impossible it would be to sync drums on this run. I see in this vid what you did though, with the little splash at the end... AMAZING idea, and it sounded great. Keep doing that!!!

"if a tree falls in the forest....." lol....hows it going bud?The only issue was there was only 20 or 25 of us doing it so no one heard it
I drove by the stadium (from the expressway) during the game. The crowd looked so packed!!! so nice to see.
All good. Hope you and the fam are well. The boys and I will come by next match to find you.
Shalalala is a great chant to hear from other sections. Sounds really great when they suddenly bust out in full voice. Everyone always turns their head toward them.
Also like a couple of their other chants which are famous across European stadiums. Just can't remember them off the top of my head right now
certainly heard a few of them buzzing around during the euros..
yet still no love from the SGs for my endoh chant from his hometown club in japan. GEEEEEEEEEZZZ YOU GUYS!!
yeah. it always picks up after the softer intro. there's something about going quiet to loud that really makes people amp it up.
like when polish dave used to make people sit down during chants and they'd spring back up to their feet afterwards 10x louder.
i did notice the tempo variance. it's kinda like what we do with forza TFC and how we speed it up after it's dug in across the section.
it's tough, but not impossible.. so we'll find a way to sync it up eventually.
ya man all good here too! fam is good hope you are too.....ya come by.....I'm still in our little corner of BMO lol.....

Saw some nice call and response between 112 and 114 last night.
The slow clap has really taken off. Great job, folks.
From my view looks like the kings are having a tough time in and around their sections with all the tourists and random drummers. But when 114 got ivolved with 116 then 115 and 116 really woke up. Good job and keep doing more with them too.
It was a little rough yesterday, didn't realize until we got in stadium that we were missing the 5 people we have who can/have been on the drums, so a little scrambling was needed. We looked to borrow a drummer but it appeared that most groups were rocking a skleton crew but the person that stepped up and tried did a decent job.
The last 2 games were probably the best i have seen 116 and last night was a little weaker, still have those in the section that either don't sing or won't sing with us. I understand people being upset with us for just coming in (although it was that simple) but at this point i don't think anyone can say the atmosphere isn't much improved by bringing all the groups south
Bringing you guys to south stands definitely improved an overall atmosphere,however.
Please don't take this personal or something against Kings,my intention is to make you guys aware of one very important thing, You need to SLOW DOWN.
For some strange reason you are always to fast,20 seconds into a chant or song you guys are 3-5 seconds ahead. This is your 2nd season in South stands,by now you guys should be able to pick up timing better then you do.
Being in 115 it's very difficult to get something going to begin with,tourists are now normal thing in 115,still when we get it going, it dies rally fast since you guys are of sink in no time,chants from 114 and 116 start getting mixed up,ppl give up and 115 is dead.
Starting different chant or song,while 112-114 are already into one,is something I don't get it,but it is what it is,it will take time to get all SGs on the same page,"South" is moving into a right direction and small adjustments from all Sgs will get us there, eventually.
Maybe before every game make sure your Kapo smokes one or twothat might slow him down and everything will be ok.
This is my first game back at BMO since early June. The atmosphere has been better this year for sure, but yesterday I noticed everyone much more organized and LOUD even from June. Judging by the comments the Chi and DC games were better then last night but keep in mind it was a Wednesday RSL game at 7:00. Hats off to everyone who made this happen.
We have noticed a few times we are out of sync, something we are working on but the distance between 114 and 116 capo stands adds a bit of difficulty to it.Bringing you guys to south stands definitely improved an overall atmosphere,however.

I think we have always just been faster
watch for hand gestures to denote what chant is going on if possible to get in sync

This also goes without saying, but everyone should invest in the best megaphone they can afford.
We are so much louder this year that it gets really hard to hear anything sometimes
Been looking but have 0 clue about what to look for.... any recommendations on brands or features and wattage?
methinks this is the one in use in 114
