Jane's view is spot on, as it has been so often before.
I believe a poll of those who win Chairman's Awards, Woodie Flowers Awards, and Outstanding Volunteer Awards would reveal that all those folks LOVE to cheer for the winners at the end of eliminations.
The song in question here has been a traditional way to celebrate winners since my generation was in high school. When a better song comes along I hope FIRST will start using it, but until then the anthem that Queen gave us thirty years ago still seems to be working fine.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
