TRUSSVILLE, Ala. – At Hewitt Trussville Middle School’s Homecoming pep rally, an unconventional group took the stage, with one of the most entertaining acts being none other than the “moms.”

“It’s become a tradition at Hewitt Trussville Middle School for the 8th Grade moms, led by Coach Tee Adams, to perform a routine at the Homecoming pep rally.  Everyone knows it’s going to happen, the secret truly lies in whose mom is performing and what exactly they are performing,” said Cindi Kettering, with the Hewitt Trussville Middle School Athletic Department. “Over the years, we’ve seen routines to Taylor Swift, kick lines, pyramids and stunts, Gangnam Style and just about every thing else you can imagine.”

Eleven mothers of the school’s 8th graders performed a dance routine that had the whole student body cheering. The video of the moms dancing to Silento’s “Watch Me” along with recent viral dance song “Hit The Quan” by ​iHeart Memphis has gone viral since its posting on Sept. 24, with over 2 million views.

“Keep on sharing folks, they did a great job!” wrote Hewitt Trussville Middle School (HTMS) Athletics Facebook page. According to their posts, they are attempting to make the video of the mom’s homecoming routine go viral, and they’re well on their way.

As of this publishing, the video has garnered more than 2 million views and has been shared more than 38,000 times.

To get that ball rolling HTMS Athletics used the hashtag #letsgoviral and tags for celebrities like Ellen DeGeneres and Rick and Bubba.

“Why do they do it?  Well outside the fun of embarrassing their children, the moms do it because Thursday’s night games matter not just to their middle schoolers, but to them also,” said Kettering.

The original video was posted by HTMS Athletics Facebook page, and can be found here.
