End of Season Slideshow

Bruce Springsteen "Glory Days"

Bachman Turner Overdrive "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet"

The group Blur has a song called Song 2 and it's pretty good sports song. The chorus is the part that would work. You might not like it but I love this song.

Willie, Mickey and the Duke (Talking baseball) by Terry Cashman. I think you will recognize it when you hear it. Great older song.

Boys are back in town - Thin Lizzy

I am here by John McCutcheon

Wild Thing by the Troggs

National Anthem, America the Beautiful and any other patriotic song would sound great.

Enjoy the banquet.

How about "This town" by OAR and/or "Swing batter Swing" by Trace Adkins

Welcome Concrete!

I would go with songs that sounded good and make you feel good versus ones that have a baseball theme that are overplayed anyways in every ball park.

If you were going with Bruce for example, Glory Days would be a better choice imho just because more people like the song. Sweet Home Alabama is in fact overplayed but it never gets old because everyone loves that song. Here is one from Rocky IV:

Those are all "old people" songs. Better ask a kid for help.

Rascal Flatts - My Wish

My Wish makes a great Mother/Son Dance song at a wedding also...My wife has that picked out already for that,lol! Nice choice for the program too though!

Thank you everyone, keep them coming! Please.

2B is one of those cool moms. I'll bet a lot of parents don't know these songs.

The background music without the lyrics can be good if the song has the right tempo. Clocks by Coldplay has a great tempo for a slide show.

All right then...how 'bout "The Itsy Bitsy Spider"?

2BMOM,
Just a slight correction,
The song by Green Day is titled "Good Riddance" not Time Of Your Life.

My son corrected me several years ago and told me it was written to an old girlfriend of Billy Joe's. Now I get a good laugh every time I here it at a graduation, it's like the last shot by the school to the graduating students, Good Riddance.

I like the Alabama song, but you're in Florida, right?

If its a slideshow (photos), you'll need lyrical music. (If its a video, use non-lyrical music.)
I'd use a collage of songs pieced together and some excellent suggestions have already been made.

Here's a great one to start with from one of Florida's biggest celeb fans:

Tom Petty - Running down a dream.

You can grab some stuff from here:

I made a PowerPoint every year for my team. I divided my PP up into themes such as Seniors, All-Conference, Let's Hit, We're running, D-fence, OH NOOO, and then our State Run.

I created huge powerpoints and had to use my laptop to present the shows. I was fortunate to have a lot of photos. Here are some songs I used:

Smooth - Santana
Running down a Dream - Tom Petty
Danger Zone - Kenny Loggins
The Boys of Summer - Don Henley
Born to Run - The Boss
The Greatest - Kenny Rogers
Runaround - Blues Traveler
Time after Time - Cindy Lauper
Crumbling Down - John Mellencamp
The Impossible - Joe Nichols
Young - Kenny Chesney
The Chicks Dig It - Chris Cagle
Burning Heart - Survivor


Senior sections songs like"
Living Years - Mike and the Mechanics
Father to Son - Cat Stevens
One More Day - Diamond Rio
The Best Day of my Life - George Strait
We may Never Pass This Way Again - Seals & Croft
My List - Toby Keith
The River - Garth Brooks
I Go Back - Kenny Chesney
Holding Back the Years - Simply Red

One year, I had some special kids who were not the best players BUT they were GREAT KIDS. Of course, I think that their goal was to make me bald. They constantly were stirring stuff up and having a lot of fun. They requested that I play this song with pictures of them:

Dukes of Hazard Theme - Waylon Jennings

I think this list is a good start. Have fun with it! BTW, if you build a PowerPoint, you need to create a folder with the PowerPoint in the folder and then put the songs in the folder. Otherwise, you might have a problem with the PowerPoint locating the songs. I've found that building a PowerPoint out of the Folder itself saves you a lot of heartache.

Fairly recent song...

Billy Currington - "That's How Country Boys Roll"

Upbeat country son that has brief reference to "...a ball and glove..."

Big League - Tom Cochrane & Red Rider,from about 89..different sport and a bit of a sad story (true); but the chorus kicks ***; universal theme.

.

"I think that their goal was to make me bald."

Pass the Rogaine® please.

On second thought, just pass me the chili!
