Songs during the Awards Ceremony

[sanddrag]

At both LA and San Diego, they played Avril Lavigne - Keep Holding On. I don't recal what awards it was for. I don't think she's a good singer, but the lyrics are very applicable to FIRST and this game.

That song was for Rookie Inspiration if I'm remembering this correctly (which doesn't happen as frequently as I'd like!)

It is nice that the music changes, I recall the looped clip of Tina Turner's "The Best" that they used to play during awards got old real quick.

Although someday, I would love to hear them play "Everyday Superhero" by Smash Mouth for the Woodie Flowers Award or Volunteer of the year award. Nudge Nudge

Who does that song where the lyrics just seem to repeat "I feel happy" over and over again. I can't seem to find it online.

The songs have bbeen the same for the past 4 events I've been at -- they're picked to coincide with the award being given out.

One song not listed yet is Brian Wilson - Let It Shine.

After the awards, they usually play "We are the champions" by Queen. I don't keep up to date with modern music, so it's always kinda interesting hearing what they play at the competitions. I've bought a couple of songs I've heard them play-

"Final Countdown" by Europe
"Funkytown" by Lipps Inc
"Play that Funky Music" by Wild Cherry
"I love Rock and Roll" (I'm not sure which version they played, but I got the one by the Blackhearts)
"Y.M.C.A" by the Village People
"We Will Rock You" by Queen
"Sirius" by the Alan Parsons Project (they usually play this before the first match)
"Zoot Suit Riot" by Cherry Poppin Daddies
"Brick House" by the Commodores


You guys remember any others they play?

I know that they played "Ride The Lightning" by Metallica at the Davis Regional for quite a few matches on Friday and Saturday.

At SVR, they even played "Closer" by NIN. I was lolling at that song, mainly because some of the lyrics are: "I wanna F*** you like an animal, I want to feel you from the inside", and we were at a FIRST event of all places =/

Thunderstruck - AC/DC

To my knowledge, during matches, the DJ just plays from a list that FIRST provides. Along with that, what ever he or she feels like playing at the time. During the award ceremony there is a master CD that is used that goes with every award. Each award has a set song. If you attend a diffrent regional and they play diffrent songs, its because the production company that is used is not the same. For example, the NYC regional, when they swtiched to the Javits Center, they used a diffrent production company, they played diffrent music. This is what i was told along with years of announcing. hanging out with the crew

FIRST has a recommended music list that DJ's can be go by, along with that FIRST allows DJ the freedom to play what ever they wish under the circumstance that the songs the DJ chooses are Clean Edited versions or Explicitive Deleted versions. As for the songs for the awards ceremony, those songs are pre-set to the awards announced which are on a CD however the DJ at the NYC Regional seem to do his own thing with the CD along with the additional audience clapping effects which was really annoying.
