Songs during the Awards Ceremony

Competition Regional Competitions
#9

The 3 regionals I attended (NJ, UTC, Boston), were all run by Sargent Productions (Also did kickoff), and they were the one’s doing music during the awards, not a DJ, so they played the same songs at every one of them.

Ironically, the song from High School Musical, “Breaking Free,” was played during the regional finalists. Its lyrics include, “There’s not a star in heaven / That we can’t reach,” yet the finalists didn’t quite reach the Regional Champion Star. Of course, this is similar to how they play “We are the Champions,” following the finals which includes, “No time for losers / Because we are the champions…”

The Awards music changed this year, and I have been to 3 regionals so far, and I believe the same songs have been used for the awards at all 3.

#11

At both LA and San Diego, they played Avril Lavigne - Keep Holding On. I don’t recal what awards it was for. I don’t think she’s a good singer, but the lyrics are very applicable to FIRST and this game.

#12

That song was for Rookie Inspiration if I’m remembering this correctly (which doesn’t happen as frequently as I’d like!)

#13

It is nice that the music changes, I recall the looped clip of Tina Turner’s “The Best” that they used to play during awards got old real quick.

Although someday, I would love to hear them play “Everyday Superhero” by Smash Mouth for the Woodie Flowers Award or Volunteer of the year award. Nudge Nudge :wink: :wink:

Who does that song where the lyrics just seem to repeat “I feel happy” over and over again. I can’t seem to find it online.

#15

The songs have bbeen the same for the past 4 events I’ve been at – they’re picked to coincide with the award being given out.

One song not listed yet is **Brian Wilson - Let It Shine.

Is There Any Way Someone Can Make a List of All The Songs Played During the Awards?

#22

I believe the “Feel Happy” song is actually titled “I Feel Happy”.

iTunes has two versions of it and although the lyrics are correct for both, the one by the Super Preachers sounds like the one they use.

#23

and it was played at both Boilermaker and West Michigan =D

#24

Here Is One Regionals Award Ceremony

#25

I can’t remember which awards these songs were used for, but La La by Ashlee Simpson and Hold You High by Smash Mouth were also two of the songs used during every award ceremony this year.

#26

After the awards, they usually play “We are the champions” by Queen. I don’t keep up to date with modern music, so it’s always kinda interesting hearing what they play at the competitions. I’ve bought a couple of songs I’ve heard them play-

“Final Countdown” by Europe
“Funkytown” by Lipps Inc
“Play that Funky Music” by Wild Cherry
“I love Rock and Roll” (I’m not sure which version they played, but I got the one by the Blackhearts)
“Y.M.C.A” by the Village People
“We Will Rock You” by Queen
“Sirius” by the Alan Parsons Project (they usually play this before the first match)
“Zoot Suit Riot” by Cherry Poppin Daddies
“Brick House” by the Commodores

You guys remember any others they play?

#27

I know that they played “Ride The Lightning” by Metallica at the Davis Regional for quite a few matches on Friday and Saturday.

At SVR, they even played “Closer” by NIN. I was lolling at that song, mainly because some of the lyrics are: “I wanna F*** you like an animal, I want to feel you from the inside”, and we were at a FIRST event of all places =/

Thunderstruck - AC/DC
