Music was bad at NYC party, yep, I agree. But DJ's ARE hired locally, and this is NYC you're talking about, so I suppose local DJ's would play that kinda stuff. However, what FIRST REALLY did bad at the NYC regional was the announcer lady for the pits. The lady who did all of the announcements really should have shown more respect towards everyone. Instead of saying, "Hey Team 810, COME ON, EVERYONE IS WAITING FOR YOU!!" she could have something like "Team 810, it is your turn." She obviously did not care for what she was doing. By late Friday or Saturday, she pretty much gave up. She said herself that she's tired of announcing teams and won't bother if she has to constantly announce people. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but this was DEFINATELY against the FIRST spirit. Thursday morning she was just terrible. I'm almost positive she lightened up because people were complaining. Then on Saturday there was that one instance when one team turned on their music loud, she told them to put it down, they just turned it higher and suddenly everyone in the pits was cheering. Shows you how much everyone hated her. I'm not sure who this lady was or how she became the announcer, but I seriously hope she does not participate in future FIRST competitions - atleast not as the announcer. She was definately one of the bad parts of the NYC Regional.
