Show up in your best Amherst gear! Rock your jerseys, Bronco shirts, face paint, beads, pom poms, capes, cowboy hats, bandanas, sunglasses, or anything red, black, and white.

🐴 THE HERD STUDENT SECTION EXPECTATIONS 🐴 One Team. One School. One Herd. The Herd exists to create the best home-court and home-field advantage possible while representing Amherst with pride, passion, and class. 👥 WHO CAN BE IN THE HERD? Grades 7-12 ✅ Welcome to join The Herd at all home events. Grades 4-6 ✅ You’re welcome to join the student section as long as you follow all Student Section Expectations. ⚠️ Students who are disruptive, unsafe, or choose not to follow expectations will be asked to return to their parents or guardians. Preschool-3rd Grade ❤️ We love your Bronco spirit! Please enjoy the game while sitting with your parent or guardian rather than in the student section. ⸻ 📣 THE HERD EXPECTATIONS ❤️ Cheer FOR Amherst. Support our Broncos with positive energy instead of putting opponents down. 🔥 Be Loud. Bring the energy from the first serve, first pitch, first whistle, or kickoff until the final buzzer. 🎭 Dress the Theme. Go all in! The more students participating, the better The Herd looks. 📱 Be Present. Put the phones away and be part of the action. 🎶 Follow the Leaders. Join the chants and traditions together to create one loud student section. 🏐🏈⚾🏀 Support ALL Programs. Whether it’s football, volleyball, basketball, wrestling, track, softball, baseball, or any Amherst activity—we show up and support one another. 🎺 Respect Performances. Give the band, cheerleaders, dance team, and other performers your attention and space while they’re performing. 🤝 Respect Everyone. Officials, opponents, visiting fans, coaches, teammates, and school staff deserve respect. 🚫 No Profanity or Unsportsmanlike Behavior. No inappropriate chants, taunting, throwing objects, or behavior that reflects poorly on Amherst. 👥 Stay Together. Remain in the designated student section and help create one unified Herd. ⏰ Stay Until the End. Win or lose, we support our teams from start to finish. 🧹 Leave It Better Than You Found It. Throw away trash and take care of our facilities. ⸻ 🐴 THE HERD TRADITIONS ⭐ Stand during key moments of every contest. ⭐ Celebrate Amherst scores and big plays together. ⭐ Welcome younger students and help teach them our traditions. ⭐ Take one Herd photo before each home contest. ⭐ Be the loudest student section in every gym and stadium we visit. ⭐ Represent Amherst with pride—even on the road. ⸻ 🐴 THE HERD CREED We are Loud. We are Respectful. We are Positive. We are Unified. We represent Amherst with Pride. ❤️🖤 BE THE HERD. 🐴
