Re: an odd choice of Chairmans Award music at FLR? Dylan?!

Ed, next time I will come up in the stands and bring you down to the field. I can't believe that you are so old that you couldn't join in. Let's all just have some fun. It is a party you know(but no "dancing"). I found that things livened up with those songs and sort of died with the rap "music".

Re: an odd choice of Chairmans Award music at FLR? Dylan?!

It's all going to be a matter of taste in the end anyways. I think Koko is right, every regional no matter where it is will always have a collection of "hokey" songs that are played over and over again in an effort to bring the crowd forward; but that again is part of what makes FIRST endearing, to always see the mascots doing the YMCA and what not. I thought the playlist was fine at Rochester. I love hip hop, and was rather surprised at the amount they did play as well, it had a pretty good mix as far as I am concerned. I also heard some P.O.D in the midst of it as well.

Well, that's better than the Chairman's Award music picked for Team 501 at the BAE Regional. The split second after they announced the team as the winner the Verizon Wireless Arena's fire alarm siren went off and we had to evacuate the building.

Re: an odd choice of Chairmans Award music at FLR? Dylan?!

It's all about knowing your crowd. At some regionals Hip-Hop is going to work, at others it isn't. I love my Hip-Hop, but the crowd didn't seem to get into it in Rochester. That being said, playing "Lose Yourself" by Eminem during the last match of the finals was absolutely perfect.

Re: an odd choice of Chairmans Award music at FLR? Dylan?!

Karthik is sooooo right.

After finals 1.3 at FLR, I asked my drive team how they felt about the perfect choice of music (Lose Yourself) for the perfect moment. One didn't like it, one didn't remember it.

The other piece that I really like during finals is the FOX sports theme. That pumps me up.

So would Battle Without Honor or Humanity from Kill Bill.

Re: an odd choice of Chairmans Award music at FLR? Dylan?!

Absolutely.
That song definitely had an effect. When I heard it come on, I couldn't believe it. I looked back to "our corner" and saw several other teammates going through the same thing I was.

Amazing.

But see, if you run out of the room every time they play the Hokey-Pokey, you would have missed the mascot dance at the Chesapeake Bay Regional! Now that was enjoyable! I particularly enjoyed watching my best friend in the Buzz mascot try to put her left and right hips in because, of course, our mascot is just really round and you don't really have hips. (also you can't reach your butt when doing the macarena.

Re: an odd choice of Chairmans Award music at FLR? Dylan?!

Our DJ up at the NYC Regional was kewl. It was his first time at the regional competition but that didn't stop him from playing nothing but the best upbeat songs during the rounds. He had like 13000 songs ( I guess that FIRST put together ) to play. He was quite honest to he made sure he played the boring stuff when there was nothing doing (LUNCH) =)
