Jurassic Park is a fairy tale in the style of the fable where the moral of the story is not to meddle unnaturally with the way of things.

Either that or Sam Neill, Omen; Rene Roch, Satan.

I'd just like to clarify, for my own sake, that I'm not against the concept of entrance music, especially during the finals.

I put the wrestling music in because that's what I would honestly want to use.

Yeah, no music in soccer...

Man U

Liverpool FC

Chelsea

Arsenal

The Junior World Cup in Dormagen, Germany uses what the organizers appear to consider themed music (roughly targetted for nationality) for each of the finalist intros. Can be interesting hearing what they select for each country. Does make one wonder if they take suggestions (assuming one can provide the music in an appropriate format).

yea, at high school foil states, we blasted techno when we got there, when everyone eas changing/warming up. It was pretty awesome- we played the pokemon theme, and the pokemon rap along with some sweet techno. We had some people just dance that were from other schools, it was pretty cool
no one told us to turn it off which was cool, not like it was interfering w/ anything

[XanderHal]

So how many scrub points would I get for playing the intro to "Flash of the Blade" by Iron Maiden?

the lead singer of that group actually fences and has fenced with the wettebergs...funny how that works,

Unless you want to attract the same demographic that like pro wrestling, taking your promotional strategies from them is probably not the best idea.

Not all growth is good growth.

If you're going to do this, I implore you to choose music that sucks less.

lol i remember that was me and my team (the 3 of us...) dancing i think! but it was awesome.

on a slight thread jack - would a ref be annoyed if a team brought a laugh track/pre-recorded-cheering track? cuz its hard for 2 people to outcheer a whole other team of 15 or so

back on track...i do agree that its stupid for pools or if you will get your butt kicked, but go for it in higher level DEs!

[fencerdude]

ok. So I've been to numerous world cups, and at just about every one of them (except maybe 1 or 2), they play music for warm up in the morning, between pools and DEs, and before and between the finals. I'm not sure about the personal "boom box", but I think it should be done on the large scale, because warm-up with music is much easier(at least for me).

perhaps some tiesto would be in order, (of course i'm guessing your taste is different).

That said, if you do in an early round (in the round of 16 or before, that is), you WILL look like a tool. I don't mind the fencers putting on a show in the finals, because the organizers should be. Since they're falling down on the job, why not let the fencers pick up the slack?

What'll you do when both fencers show up with ghetto blasters, playing different, conflicting music and trying to drown each other out?

I think that the OP should come out wearing a silk robe with the hood up, shadow-boxing, to "Eye of the Tiger". Coterie of grim-faced ostensible trainers and managers optional.

Of course, this might be construed as more amusing than inspirational. But anyway.

laugh my ass off and suggest to the tournament organizers that it just might possibly be better if THEY arranged for music at such times.

And all will be well, even if it's disrupting other strips, because referees must never, ever criticize or rebuke each other publicly...
