I know that vuvuzelas are banned in Yankee Stadium, but does anybody know about caxirola's the noisemaker for the World Cup? Thanks!

Just my two cents, I like the no cappo aspect. A drum for pace/rhythm might be useful, but what I want is an atmosphere that our boys on the pitch can rely on the entire game. So if we can produce support in unison so that one song/chant isn't jumbled with another one at the same time, everything will work out well.
the reason why drums should be a no is because this: it puts people in charge. it puts someone in charge of all of us to follow them. if I want to chant A, but the drummer is beating to chant F then the drummer wins because he is louder. The atmosphere should be one where ANYONE can start singing and everyone follows along
ha, yeah, they banned them.

I don't know if this has been discussed, but can we all agree that any semblance of "The Wave" that is started anywhere in Yankee Stadium or our new arena, should come to a crashing halt at the wall we shall call the supporters/Third Rail section.
Ugh. I can't stand Mexican Waves. I inwardly facepalm every time I see one get going.
I see what your saying. I just was mentioning it because drums or no drums as long as we are in unison that's my worry.
Here is my input with the Capos/No Capos, Drums/No Drums debate.
I think since we could possibly be relatively small when we start, maybe average around 1,500 supporters for the first season (I would love it if we were much bigger, but I am being a bit realistic), it might be feasible to do the No Capos, No Drums method. The problem that Red Bulls Supporters ran into is that sound doesn't travel sideways and backwards at RBA. So if one portion of the section starts singing something, another section doesn't hear them and starts singing something else. If a drum is involved in one of those sections, the other one is completely drowned out. The Capos and drums, in my opinion, would be there to coordinate the different portions of the sections into a unified voice. Not start singing their own songs. Maybe if there is a lull in the atmosphere, they can start to coordinate a song with all the sections.
Since this has never really been done before at Yankee Stadium, I have a feeling that our first season will be a lot of trial and error. We have to see how sound travels out of the bleachers and how we are able to coordinate internally. If we are able to create atmosphere without the Capos and drums, that would be my opinion to carry on. If it isn't working the way we want it, we may have to shift gears and try different things to see what works.
We also have to assume that we will not be the only group of supporters there. I will assume that there will be a Hispanic supporters group with their band style atmosphere. I do not know if there is already one in the works, but I think we should try to absorb them into the Third Rail and try to coordinate something that we can both get behind.
This is just a few of the numerous obstacles we will need to overcome in order to become a successful supporters club. And I am looking forward to every second of it!

Couldn't read the whole thread to see if this has been mentioned, but a cool part of Yankee games is the roll call the bleacher creatures do at the start of every game. Might be cool to appropriate that for the supporters section.
While it may be too close of a nod to the Yankees, any chance the Supporters sing "New York New York" or "My Way" after a win? It only makes sense, since our star is named Frank.
My issue or problem with the Roll Call is that it LACKS any semblance of creativity. Singing a person's name
syllabically is boring. How long can you keep a roll call going?
Let's be real- pick any kid's nursery rhyme and throw in your lyrics to honor and respect our team. I guarantee it's a hell of a lot better and funnier than the POS roll call.

I think it'd be clever if we adopt songs from our new heroes old clubs. Your thoughts?
Super Frank!

Wherever we go,
We`ll follow our team,
For we are the City,
And we are supreme,
We'll never be mastered,
By no Jersey bastards,
We'll keep the blue flag flying high.
Flying high, up in the sky,
We'll keep the blue flag flying high,
From the Bronx to Jersey,
We'll keep the blue flag flying high...
Not a bad idea to retool some existing chants... Why reinvent ALL of the wheels?

There's only one team in New York
