Yeah, I guess Dean is the boss and, in FIRST as in any organization, whatever sucks is the boss's fault. However, I think it's also fair to assume that Dean has several other things on his mind right now that are more important than a FIRST Anthem; who knows, maybe (like many of us) he doesn't even like the idea of having a FIRST Anthem. In any case, cut the man some slack -- he's probably delegated this to some incredibly overworked person on the incredibly undersized FIRST staff. It'll get straightened out, in a time frame determined by its relative urgency -- which is not very high.

Anyway, arresting Dean would be impractical -- you'd have to catch him first!

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

Re: Choose the FIRST Anthem?

I have been really Really REALLY scared by the fact that one of those songs is going to be a theme song.
Like THIS scared .
Then again, how good do theme songs get?
They usually are repetitive, simple, not much of a melody, no solos or complexity, and can get pretty annoying if heard too much.
So, unless we can come up with a chart-topper, perhaps we should stick to what we're good at.

Far more powerful than FIRST saying "here is your anthem."

3- Cotton Eyed Joe is the FIRST song...PERIOD. Always has been. Always will be.

No. Cotten Eyed Joe is not the FIRST song.

Re: Choose the FIRST Anthem?

After coming off two weeks of wearing a blue shirt and made to stand on the field and dance (thanks to 173 for bringing me up to speed on cotton-eyed-joe in Philly), I played them both and tried to dance. #2 I tried the ol' YMCA, only with FIRST.

Arghhhh....

Forget it.

Angry Re: Choose the FIRST Anthem?

This is the the single worst FIRST thing I know about. I am a bit biased being in an orchestra, however, this sucks. no other word can describe it. Someone said FIRST should let the students/mentors write the lyrics, I say and the music. For those who were at Palmetto, some of the techno music was written by a SOAP kid, and it ruled over this. FIRST needs to stick to robots and let musically talented students (who would probably do it for free) write the FIRST anthem.

Re: Choose the FIRST Anthem?

I searched the thread, and it turned up no results, so I'll go ahead and throw it out there:

What about a version of NL's "Aim High" for the anthem?
