Music for FLL

[Cuog]

Well there is a high likelyhood that I will be DJing for the FLL tournament my team holds every year, so before school starts and i become too busy what sorts of music would most people like to hear at competitions?

Any examples will do: Bands, Styles, Songs etc.

Well, some good high-energy techno will do you a lot of good. (There's plenty of Creative Commons goodness out there.) Ditto for rock or hip-hop or rap. (I recall Fort Minor releasing a few tracks under CC, and there may well be others.)

Honestly, just about anything will work as long as the energy is there; just make sure the music is squeaky-clean.

Try this whitepaper

AC/DC Thunder Struck is a must, along with all the "active songs" like YMCA etc.

If your FLL tournaments are attended/hosted by FRC teams, be sure to play the "classics" - like the aforementioned YMCA, Cotton-Eyed Joe, Cha-Cha Slide, etc. That way your FRC members can teach the FLL members who don't already know the songs and dances. We've had a lot of fun adding the FRC-spirit to the FLL events this way.

Thanks everyone for their input, i have a bunch of techno already just been listening to all of it to weed out the stuff that may have parents trying to lynch me

I didnt even think to check whitepapers for this so thanks a bunch for that.

I've been going and getting tons of Dance classics just because you have to play em

I'm also gonna trip some people up by playing the original "who let the frog out"

Just an added note: the whitepaper is for FRC competitions, so you'd be advised to cut out some of the songs not suited for the younger audience.

[Cuog]

yes i know, im making sure its all age appropriate

[Alexa Stott]

Billy Idol's "You Spin Me Right Round" is always a good, upbeat song. ;-)

[Cuog]

Well I just added a bunch of songs to my lists that White paper helped alot.

Now to get them all set up and ready to go

Keep your favorites coming, i probably wont stop checking this untill the day before FLL(sometime in october/november i think)

[Nitroxextreme]

I have attached one of the original "rough drafts" of our music list for our FLL event. Many of these songs were removed and a couple new ones were added.

Hopefully this helps.

[Cuog]

Every little bit helps, That gave me about 10 more songs i wanted to add.

thanks.
