One can only do the Chicken Dance, YMCA and the Cha-Cha Slide so many times :/ (also...Cupid Shuffle?)

Thanks for the clarification about the selection criteria.

I will agree with Kara here. I agree that the Cotton-eye Joe shouldn't be played more than 2 times in a weekend, but during the two regionals I went to this year the song to play during time outs and field issues was the Chicken Dance and the YMCA and those do nothing to help move the time along.

In general I thought the music could have used some help. Most of it was 80's rock music (no offense to anyone but when it is played softly and they repeat songs 3 LONG songs in one day it makes it monotonous... especially when scouting). But when they did play something it was the same three songs Be My Escape by Relient K, and Alejandro/Telephone by Lady Gaga. Before going right back to the 80's. Even in the eliminations when at most regionals they pull out the "intense music" as one DJ told me, it was the same rock music that was played all weekend.

I'll listen to rock, but after this years IRI I will kill not to hear it again!

Other than that it was a great event as always!
