Parktown, South Africa (07 November 2025) – There’s nothing like an electrifying school war cry to lift spirits, bring a school community together and create a unifying blast of passion that’s sure to raise the hair on the back of your neck!
Parktown Boys’ High School got us excited after a video of their epic war cry was shared on their social media recently, beautifully capturing the moment the whole school erupted in song – armed with instruments, bold voices and the most captivating energy.
They belted out their voices, stomped the yard, sounded the horn and beat the drum. Shu, even the dust came through as a paid actor!
The post’s caption accurately captured the energy and soul of the boys’ performance, reminding everyone, from the first-year student to the oldest teacher, that they are part of the same awesome team.
“This isn’t just noise—it’s the sound of unity.
When Parktonians come together, we don’t whisper. We shake the ground!
Every chant fuels the fire.
Every beat lifts the brotherhood.
And every one of YOU makes it louder.”
Their coordinated war cry garnered over 443k views on Instagram and love from thousands of entertained Saffas who praised the boys’ brotherhood, beats and incredible showcase.
“You make South Africa look amazing,” @day.the.dreamer wrote.
@anni4goldenyears complimented the boys’ drumming skills.
@nnadine8 humorously admitted:
“I wish I could go back to high school.”
Thanks for the spectacular performance and a magnificent display of team spirit, boys!
