The routine featured audio from news reports broadcasted on September 11, 2001, along with victims' voice mails left for loved ones and statements from then-President George W. Bush. Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the U.S.A." was the musical score.

Check it out:

"So good, it'll make you cry," Petoskey wrote.

Students in the gymnasium loved the routine, as did many folks commenting about it on Twitter:

But some weren't thrilled:

Just watched part of a video in which high school cheerleaders did a "tribute to 9/11." America, where tasteless tat passes for homage.

Ya because it's definitely okay to have cheerleaders dancing to the last phone calls of the victims during 9/11. https://t.co/fwTx8BXxBG

The cheerleading coach Lauren Sheffield told BuzzFeed News the squad has performed a 9/11 tribute routine ever since 2002.

“We do this because we believe it is very important to honor and remember the first responders, those who gave their lives, and those who still mourn the hole left by lost loved ones,” Sheffield said.
