I asked him to play the Final Countdown (great pump up song) when we were in the finals, and he acted like he was too good for me and blew me off. I also asked for Red Alert by Basement Jaxx, and that never got played.
Then I went to the GLR this past weekend, and the DJ was great! He played all of my favorite, including 867-5309. AND, when the teams won, he played We Are The Champions, rather than another random techno song like VCU. I can only hope that they have him at the Detroit Regional next week.
Maybe I'm more likely to notice because I'm a DJ, but what are your experiences this year with DJs at events?

Stacy's Mom was played ad nausem on Thursday, allong with 'Where is the Love'. It's Thursday, and just like in years past, you'll hear it a lot. On the competition side of things, I thought the DJ did ok job. But you do have to admit, he was a character. This guy dressed up in a huge pimpin' suit (with hat & feather) on Friday, and he dressed up like Uncle Sam on Sat. IMHO, he did a good job of doing his job, giving the competition a soundtrack everyone can like. He touched all the bases, and I give him mad props for it. We have lots of muslums, indians, and asians on our team (who call themselves the 'Indians') and they wanted more Indian techno. You can't please everyone. I even wanted to see 'Time to Start'.
But hey, whatever, atleast it's better than 'Cotten Eyed Joe (techno remix)'
