Is there a reason for all the shouting and squealing? Or is it some tradition?
The simple answer is it is just the boys (and girl) letting off a bit of energy to entertain the crowd. They do it deliberately to see who can shout the loudest!! There is nothing inadvertent about it.
If you watch the general public's reaction, most have a smile or a giggle because they have no idea what it is all about! Job done.
