I'd like to hear some Clint Mansell stuff played at a competition (specifically VCU or Nats). I'm thinking the title theme from Pi, which has this incredible frentetic vibe.

Ramones has some music that would be great for competition.
While Pink Floyd is one of my favorites, I also think that it is a bit too mellow for playing at competition. It would clash with the culture there.

So, I only read the first page of replies to this thread, and I'm sure someone else has already mentioned this song, but I must say, "YMCA" is the all-time classic, not just at FIRST competitions, but at all other group dance events. "The Macarena" is also a personal favorite. I loved "Cotton Eye Joe" because when they played that in Phoenix, our charter bus driver, whom we had invited to spend the day with us at the competition, got down on the floor and did the most enthusiastic line dance I've EVER seen!!!

i personally don't like those songs, but yes you must play them at large gatherings, don't forget the cha cha slide.
