There’s a lot of great classical & orchestral pieces that would be awesome at a FIRST event:
-Ride of the Valkyries
-William Tell Overture
-1812 Overture
-Sabre Dance

And then there’s all the great soundtracks:

-Duel of the Fates (Star Wars ep. I)
-Wheel of Fortune (Pirates of the Caribean)
-Requiem for a Tower
-(I'll think of more)

Techno (preferably trance and drum-and-bass) is always a winner. So is classic rock and hair-metal.

But this is an Israeli Off-season event, so I’d say play what’s popular over there.

These would basically be my choices. Good taste, man.

Music that gets the drivers pumped up because "Summer Love" just made me and our co-captain laugh when we were getting ready for the next match.

Oh, YEAH!!! I would LOVE that. Excellent choices. I'd probably add some quality tracks from Lord of the Rings in there too. And some Indiana Jones . . .

Aw, come on. It wouldn't be a regional without "Cotton Eye Joe"!

[hipsterjr]

three words:
White and nerdy!

[synth3tk]

lol, Buckeye played that last year. Very fitting, though some of us weren't "white" we all felt the same way. Generally, I liked the selection of the music we had. I don't pay it that much attention, but I'm sure we'd all miss it if we didn't have it. Personally, the only requirement is fast-paced songs, [nearly] any genre, after the 90's-era.

[whytheheckme]

FF7 and FF7 AC soundtracks would be VERY nice!

Especially the rock songs like Tatakau Mono Tachi and Battle in the Forgotten City.

[CardcaptorRLH85]

If I remember correctly at the West Michigan Regional last year we heard the FF7 Battle Theme and the FF7 Boss Battle Theme. That brought back some memories ^_^

Sirius, The Middle, White and Nerdy, and the Final Touchdown should be played at all regionals for sure.

Interactive songs that are commonly played that people like would be stuff like cotton eyed joe (though it is a bad song when you have a pneumatics leak in your robot and you're waiting for it to be over)

Ahem, that's the Final COUNTDOWN, not the final Touchdown. And of course, don't forget Sandstorm.

Sandstorm by Darude has always been the one song I associate with FIRST.

Most people probably don't know the name since it has no lyrics.

"The Body Electric" by Rush. That song rocks.

yeah... if u like darude, there is a compilation series you should check out called "Euro Club Hits" --

it's pretty clear that dance music is coming back around the world -- just check the recent big American hip-hop and R&B hits which are clear rip-offs of the european dance style.....

here's the direct iTunes link to the "Euro Club Hits" series.....

There are some pretty amazing songs on the Soundtrack that would be awesome to hear during matches. One of my Favorites in FF is One winged angel. I would love to also hear the FF Victory tune everytime I won a match.
