Shouts of delight with bands (6)

I believe the answer is:

whoops

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'shouts of delight' is the definition.
'whoops' can be an answer for 'shouts' (whoop is a kind of shout). I am not certain of the 'of delight' bit.

'with bands' is the wordplay.
'with' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'bands' becomes 'hoops' (hoop is a kind of band).
'w'+'hoops'='WHOOPS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for whoops that I've seen before include "Worrying cry" , "Yikes, I've dropped something!" , "Loud cries of excitement" , "Exclamation after making a mistake" , "Something said after minor accident or mistake" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
