Tell pit admin to voice your opinion,while speaking in a graciously professional manner to them, to the event manager, who should be able to correct the situation. FIRST isn't right there, but the event manager is.

Then, e-mail FIRST about it! They DO respond to your comments.

I remember the instance at the Championship mentioned above, and, if I remember correctly, Dean himself came out to apologise.

Sometime things slip through, or the person reviewing the music list just isn't aware. YOU can make the organization aware. Contact them.

Plus, just because the kids listen to it isn't a good enough reason to advocate it. We can adhere to a higher standard.
Teams are usually given an opportunity to voice opinions and offer feedback at a team feedback forum in late spring. Be sure your team leaders are aware of your concerns and communicate them. Although I was on the planning committee for UTC, I barely listened to the music that was played - too busy with other things. So I was dismayed to read this post and will make mention of it to the committee. We can't improve upon what we don't know is a problem.
