Music at the competitions

[RaMoore]

The DJ at Dallas was good, but 1817 was a bit disappointed in the lack of historically common FIRST interactive songs. However I wasn't in the stands for more than about 5 minutes, so this is just word of mouth from my teammates.

This year the students really wanted to pursue the spirit award so each meeting we started off learning/practicing our dances and chants. Everyone who was at the meeting, mentors, students, parents, and volunteers all had to try the dance. (And students or mentors who showed up late to avoid the dancing got to do a solo-act!) And I think it worked really well! I was really proud, for anyone at the Dallas event, they were calling us the dancing team!

But my point was that there was much less interactive music played than compared to LSR in my memory anyway. After talking with the DJ I was told he said he didn't have some of the songs, maybe that means wasn't on the list. Just going by memory from what my students said he was missing songs like: The Electric Slide, and The Hustle (or was it Stayin' Alive?). I think they really wanted to dance to Thriller also, maybe at LSR.

If you're going to be repetitive I want more Chicken Dance! Dance little chickens, dance!
