To my knowledge, no one left the party because of the music or replays.

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.
Jane, I completely understand the music situation and I wasn't surprised it was played in the first place. Some off seasons play it because it is older volunteers who grew up in the days of rock and prefer that over newer music of the younger generation; which can become a problem when the competition is aimed towards the younger generation. I don't think that the music choice would even be a pathetic reason to leave the event that would be just plain rude. And I am not saying that 80's/rock is bad or shouldn't be played, there are some songs I love, but some songs were played in excess *2 to 3 times in the course of a day and there wasn't much variety. If there were more different 80's/rock songs I wouldn't have a problem since they would be different and new, but most of the songs played were repeats. If I came out as though I am complaining, I apoligize that is something I can do and not realize I am complaining.

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).
