Re: Choose the FIRST Anthem?
They reallly need a "neither" option on the poll as I have to agree with what seems the concensus here in liking neither.

Argument #1: Hey, Dave could just name the next 47 games "Aim High" as well. Argument #2: "Aim High" is sufficiently in the vocabulary of most folks, which means FIRST could get away with it--even if it was the game from four years ago. ("Triple Play" or "Zone Zeal" might not be able to do that.) Argument #3: While the song name may be "Aim High," the message contained within it is definitely year-neutral (even if it isn't quite team-neutral). Argument #4: It still beats the two FIRST posted. |

OTOH, I'll have to agree that the lyrics are totally lame. I guess that's because the author only had the inspirational speeches to go by, rather than having the insight of mentoring a team or lurking on ChiefDelphi. What's needed are some lyrics that truely capture the essence. We can write them. If we each write a verse, it could end up longer than the Inagodadavida - baby! Here's one: ( )Quote:

Re: Choose the FIRST Anthem?
I think the real problem I have is the "light alt pop rock" style both songs have . . .
jack is right if they re did one of the songs with some hard guitar rifts . . . a drum solo . . mabe get that guy from ACDC to do the vocals . . . |

Fresh material is one of the keys to sustaining FIRST. That's the reason we need a new game, new rules, new KOP elements, new teams, etc. every year. |

Re: Choose the FIRST Anthem?
I'm sure U2, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Michael Jackson, Boy George, etc. are all bored....soooo.....
Let's all whine about the plight of those who are without FIRST and organize a massive fundraiser concert called "FIRST Aid" (48 has actually staged three such concerts locally) and recruit all these 80's icons to perform and write a song about FIRST ala "We Are the World", "Feed the World", etc......... Can you imagine people like Andy Baker, Karthik, Copioli, Patton, Cokeley, Dillard, Lavery, Heidi, Woodie, Dean, Morrella, Warren, Boucher, Beatty, Olivera, Grady, etc. holding hands, swaying back and forth to the music, and singing a song like this? I smell music video.... So lame.... There comes a time When we heed a certain call When the nerds must come together as one There are schools that need us And it's time to lend a hand to FIRST The greatest program of all We can't go on Pretending day by day That someone, somewhere will soon make a change We are all a part of Dean's great big family And the truth, you know robots are all we need [Chorus] We are the nerds We are the mentors We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving There's a choice we're making We're improving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day Just you and me Send them your kitbot So they'll know that someone cares And their minds will be stronger and free As Dean has shown us by giving us AIM HIGH So we all must lend a helping hand [Chorus] We are the nerds We are the mentors We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving There's a choice we're making We're improving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day Just you and me When your school has no team There seems no hope at all But if you just believe There's no way we can fall Well, well, well, well, let us realize That a change will only come When we stand together as one [Chorus] We are the nerds We are the mentors We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving There's a choice we're making We're improving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day Just you and me Last edited by Travis Hoffman : 07-04-2006 at 14:40. |

If y'all aren't careful I'm going to have to make another Walton response and delete myself again.....
