Very upbeat music always is a plus  Also, if you are showing sponsors, its good to let them know the major companies sponsoring other teams and the event itself. |
Make sure the music is appropriate. No profanity, try to have to avoid it being suggestive and remember, it's not only representing your team but FIRST itself so this is alot bigger than
just your team. Alot of people put alot of hard work into this institution and your video is your representation to your community of the greater whole. So remember, if you show something at your school or corporation and it offends them they are not only going to not want anything to do with your team but also FIRST as well.
So don't just think that because the newest gansta rap theme or newest pounding alternative track sounds hot that it's cool it's OK to put it in your video even though it's ripe with f-bombs or suggestive lyrics. Try to think outside of your mind and closest friends on the team an din your school and actually consider, is there any possiblity that it would be greeted by disapproval by people who can actually be a benefit to the team (like the principal, the company CEO, your parents, Dean Kamen) and then consider is it still OK?
