At FL and LV last season, the SOAP table was right next to the DJs, and they were quite restricted to what they were allowed to play and when. (we talked a bit)

Someone is getting yelled at tonight...
At the regionals I was at last year, I am pretty confident they did not have DJs on Thursdays. However, it simply doesn't make much sense to hire a DJ for a day when not everyone is there and the event has not 'officially' started (referring to opening ceremonies / competition play, I know they've started). Most likely, some member of the production crew set up his laptop without thinking just so there would be music. If I recall correctly, this is exactly what they did last year at NJ, as a team member and I were running the webcast next to an empty DJ table, which was filled the next two days (even if they refused to play the FIRST theme songs...)
