This may sound a little over-the-top for a HS team, but does your HS team have volunteer or paid PA's? If so, do you guys have walk-up songs for your players?
Just curious about other programs. Peace GED10DaD

Thank you for saying that. Winning teams don't do walk-up songs. They get in the box, concentrate, and hit pi$$missles.

Cant say I disagree, because the most ridiculus thing that can happen is a player waiting to walk up to his music...."let the bodies hit the floor" as I remember, then strike out on 3 straight swings.....

td25 ... This will probably surprise you, but Good hitters don't for a second consider failing! And considering them cocky because of their walk-up songs??? ... what's 9 hitters times 30 MLB teams that all play walk-ups?? The songs just might be here to stay. What about "high fives" and "fist pumps", now there is a real demonstration, by your barometer, of what not being humble is all about???

I was hoping for a little payback this year...I think the only song I'd need is Queen's "Fat Bottomed Girls." Get on your bikes and ride!
Now that's funny!GED10DaDquote:Originally posted by Jimmy03:... "I enjoy being a girl", "The Hills are alive with the Sound of Music", "Dance, 10, Looks, 3", "Anything you can do I can do better", "Surrey with a Fringe on Top", "Gonna Wash that Man Right Out of My Hair, and "If I only had a brain".Non-musical tunes included "In the Navy", "Like a Virgin", "My Girl", and "I'm a little Teapot."

We have dsds from the booster club rotate/volunteer for the PA duties. The walk-up songs are fun (censored prior to airing), loud and reflect the personality of the kids. Only varsity gets this privilage. You hear from all genres. One kids last name is Brickhouse, what do you think he uses for a walk up song?
Mighty, mighty, just lettin' it all hang out!

This all resulted in an addition to the game time of 10-15 seconds per batter, or an average of about 7-8 minutes per game when one side used music and about 15 minutes per game when each side used music.
No scientific significance is claimed.
quote:Most of the time, we get compliments from the fans, players, and visiting crowd about how we handle the music and announcing making it more special for everyone involved.
quote:heard of another local HS that allows the Seniors to pick first-time varsity player's walk-up for them...get lot's of Madonna, Jonas Brothers, Taylor Swift...
OK, I'm rambling, but thought I'd chime in. The players do like it...

ShowVol, we do a very similar format. I edit all requested WU's, we follow a very strict protocol to make sure we don't offend. We get alot of nice comments about our music. It's very broad and... thanks to guitar hero, the players even recognize some of our older rock stuff from back-in-the day!
We play Sweet Caroline too. GED10DaD

Maybe it's just me, but I think it disrespectful to play walkup songs for the competitor's team that are "derogatory". It's distracting in a negative way. My son is a pitcher. If a player walks to the batter's box while he is on the mound, he wants that batter to be at his best and totally undistracted. Can't beat the feeling of defeating someone at their best.
quote:At our games when the visiting coach visits the mound we play "Precious and few are the Moments we two can share". It always gets giggles from the stands.
