Re: Playlists for Events

Quote:
"Traditional" songs for breaks (Macarena, YMCA, Cha-Cha Slide, Cotton-Eye Joe (which I happen to like), and that sort of thing): Keep them for field outages or elimination-round breaks. Maybe you don't get to all of them. That's probably a good thing. But don't go playing them during the normal matches unless there's some form of field failure.
That works for me, when I hear them I know it's either a field failure or the head ref has called a bio break for the staff. So I can also head out of the stands for a few moments.

I'm a fan of the 60'->2010 music, thats about 17,000 top 40 songs to choose from across the weekend so repeats shouldn't be a real problem. Part of it is with multiple DJ's they often duplicate songs so trying to coordinate would be good.

A mixup of songs is good. Sometimes when 1/2 the crowd goes "Huh?" and the rest go "Wow, I've not heard that in years" its a good thing. So I'll sign up to bring my iPod with a mix of Polka, Sousa marches, Square dance tunes and Big Band Hits. Think about Lunacy, was that not a Square dance music opportunity? With the robots and their "partners" attached to them, it would have been perfect!!
