Kick-Off Song

[gtg622r]

I hate this is my first post, but I've searched high and low and can't find what I'm looking for anywhere. I'm public address for a high school football program and I'm responsible for the music. I keep hearing this song at the Tech game and I can't figure out what it is for the life of me. It seems to only be played once per game. It's played either before we kick-off to start the game or before we kick-off to start the second half.

You can hear it here at the 0:55 mark but you have to listen closely and ignore the commentator.

It seems to be mainly instrumental, but there is a line repeated at the beginning. I can't make out the words.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

It's too faint to hear

If you mean the one on the sound system, that's "Halftime" by Yin Yang Twins.

Ask the players what songs they want to hear. When I played in high school our music guy sent out an email at the beginning of the season with what songs should be played at games, we all loved it.

That sounds like what the students are chanting. Can't hear any music on that video though; just the students

GT could always do what Tennessee does on third downs. Tennessee changed a song by D.J. Snake and Lil John called "Turn Down For What" to "Third Down For What" and they play that when the other team has 3rd down.

I'd prefer we not imitate anyone, let alone them.

I do feel like we don't celebrate Atlanta's hip hop culture as much as we used to. 2009 all the way turnt up against VT was one of the most fun games I attended as a student.

I say we play this song after a well executed TO... at least just play one word, "Slippery"

Some games its obvious that younger kids run the music and play more hip hop but occasionally we get stuck with some old head playing music strictly prior to 1995

I resemble that remark!

Actually, no I don't. "prior to 1995" would still be modern music to me......<sigh>

This is my preferred recap of that game. The best crowd of any game I have attended.

The vt 09 was home coming and wife and I made the trip from Texas for 40th reunion. It was her first time to tech and b d s.
By far best crowd engaging music and jumbotron lead cheers of any game (season tickets since 14 and all bowl) .
The "yellow --- jacket" cheer during time outs was awesome . Now we have some song and show short selfies of exibitionistic late bloomers.

I was fortunate enough to be there, most electric football game I've ever been to.

IIUC Lil' Jon did that for them. Not sure why. Probably paid him for a dubplate (reggae term).

Cool story bro time. There was a GT-based reggae group back in the day for whom Lil' Jon was gonna drop a dubplate off one of his first hits, Who U wit.

These guys still available?
