This many times over. I haven't been to nearly as many events as Koko, but I have acquired an immunity to the repetitive songs. Buckeye seems to have gotten better though...

...because of this. I'm almost certain that the Buckeye Regional committee decided the same thing. In 2010, Thursday it was chilled, laid back music almost all day. Friday got into more upbeat songs, but nothing too crazy. Saturday was full blown Cotton Eyed Joe and Chicken Dance. Even then, they didn't go overboard, if I recall correctly.

I don't mind the songs themselves. But FIRST should strongly advise the DJs and Regional Directors to create a lengthy playlist (or playlists for each day).
