The Cheerleaders will have teen boys and girls alike cheering on this underdog turned unlikely hero. It's geeks versus jocks in an epic battle of the beverages! But when the cheerleading team takes over the funds previously collected by the band, Gabe will not stand for it. A marching band geek who drowns his dysfunctional family woes in a voracious soda habit, Gabe relishes his role as class clown, fending off harassment from students and teachers with his own brand of irreverent, self-deprecating humor.
