POLL: First Music

[njamietech]

Ok, I am just going to say one thing about the music FIRST played at a particular regional.

Multiple members of our team were offended when the regional we attended played several offensive songs such as: "Bringing sexy back" (which happened to be the worst). I don't know if that was just the DJ they had or if the problem has already been taken care of. My only point is that the Regionals should be family friendly as children frequently attend the regionals.

FIRST shouldn't be known for the music it plays but for the actual competition and its mission.

My only point is that the regionals can play whatever they like. Just as long as it is family friendly and not include explicit phrases, inuendos, or anything else of that kind.

We had several other problems with that regional and as a result we have decided not to attend it again.

P.S. I will only give the name and/or date of the regional if I am either giving it to a FIRST official or a FIRST official says that I may do so.

With what I said above out of the way.

I have a few ideals when it comes to first music:

1) what I said above

2) they must play: YMCA, Maraina, The Chicken dance, The electric slide, and Kryptonite (well maybe the last one is asking a bit much )

3) It shouldn't be so loud that you can't hear the person next to you. This becomes annoying when you are trying to scout and coordinate spirit in the stands.

We know it shouldn't be known for the music, but we can discuss it, just the same as talking about multimedia/webmastering. On-Topic, I must agree that the music is WAY too loud. I couldn't even hear myself think, although the acoustics at Cleveland State is awesome, you barely hear anything happening on the other side of the curtain.

Yes, the classics must remain. I'll post a video of some people dancing to "Cotton Eyed Joe" from last season on YouTube later.

At one of our off-season events, our DJ played Also Spratch Zarastrustra (2001 a space odyssey), Duel of the Fates, and the Imperial March during the finals. It was definitely a good matchup.

The Final Countdown is a good one.
