Music Tips for FLL Competition

[Danny Diaz]

Hey everybody. Last year we ended up not hiring a DJ to play any music for the Central Texas FIRST LEGO League Championship Tournament, and on the competition floor we suffered from not having the energy from the music - it was horrible. So, this year I've been put in charge of coming up with the music to play. Of course I've checked with FLL about the legal implications of playing music at an event, and their official answer is that as long as the competition is not being broadcast and the music I'm playing was obtained legally then there's no ASCAP licensing necessary and so on. So, the biggest problem I have is that I'm a Classic Rock nut and I'm going to put together this playlist for kids who weren't even alive when the artists *died* (though unfortunately for most of the music I listen to the artists pretty much all died right after doing their best work).

So, I'm asking the CD community - if you were to put together a playlist that was AGE APPROPRIATE and FLL APPROPRIATE, what would it be? I'll give you credits if I use all or part of your playlist.

Thanks!
