Re: 2010 IRI Results and Awards

Just some thoughts, Jane P.S. Idea: something that would be productive and helpful would be to start a thread with suggestions for a dynamite playlist for events. I know there have been threads like that in the past - perhaps it's time to make one for the 2010-11 season. That beats the heck out of complaining. Last edited by JaneYoung : 28-07-2010 at 10:43.

My personal opinion on this would be to strive for variety. This year, we really didn't worry about it too much. With some DJ change over during long days, some songs got repeated. Next year, we will keep a history of what was played and also strive for more variety. Andy B. |

Re: 2010 IRI Results and Awards
I also wanted to point out that the DJ's song choices at IRI, at least on Saturday when I watched, were pretty good overall. I've been to events where DJs just seem to put either some terribly overplayed stuff on over and over, or once even a single album just played through. Here there was a good variety of songs that mixed basic genres and styles fairly frequently.

I remember at an FLL event I helped volunteer at they had Grooveshark set up (free website with millions of songs) and they used that for their music/song requests to keep cost down and please those who came up requesting songs. So I would just recommend more variety and fewer repeats. P.S. Jane, they are looking for areas that could use some work. I wasn't the only one up in stands who commented on the music (a few other students from other teams around us did too). |

I know, thus the suggestion to start a thread with a suggested playlist in mind. I certainly could not put one together; it would be awful. ![]() Jane |

My style is everywhere but could probably only contribute a few good songs that I own, most are songs I've heard at competitions and never know the names of! ![]() |

Re: 2010 IRI Results and Awards
I like the idea of a thread for song suggestions too. Music must be hard at events like this with people of all ages and from all parts of the country and a few outside of the country. But it seems very important too. I almost think you need a professional at least at the in-season events who can sense the mood of the crowd and energize it when needed. Even songs I don't normally like, I enjoy at the right moment, such as the song playing in the background at the Boston final matchhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wysi3s7h0qA, which seems like the perfect song for that moment.

Re: 2010 IRI Results and Awards
I rather liked the 80s music... But I would. Glad someone likes the Foo Fighters as much as I do, haha.
A thread for suggesting music isn't bad, but some people hate on songs that others have fun with (Chris, Akash ). I wouldn't call myself an Cotton-Eyed Joe fanboy, but playing it once or twice, I wouldn't complain about. |

Re: 2010 IRI Results and Awards
New thread - as per suggestion. Questions:
1) To play or not to play - the traditional "canon" of regionals, like YMCA, Cotton-Eye Joe, etc. 2) Repeats - how many is ok (and for what length of competition)? 3) How much thought really needs to go into this? 4) Any good resources/websites? e.g. grooveshark.com, etc. 5) Just in general, what do you want to hear? (why?) |
