I really liked some of the new game day additions (e.g., fireworks) but “DJ Herd That” was cringeworthy. Might be okay for wedding receptions but not for Herd games.

Ehhhh. The fireworks were too loud. I caught a whiff of the smoke. It itched my nose and eyes. The C130 flyover was also dangerous. Was that really necessary?I thought the DJ was great. Kids around us especially liked it. Fireworks, they were nice in the daylight. Only saw smoke when it got dark lol
Flyover was very cool. Young man from Huntington was flying it as wellEhhhh. The fireworks were too loud. I caught a whiff of the smoke. It itched my nose and eyes. The C130 flyover was also dangerous. Was that really necessary?
Any and all attempts to bring a little energy into the place should be appreciated and encouraged. The Joan has been a mausoleum for the last few years. I think some fans would rather spend time visiting the bathrooms and bitching about the urinals than actually participating in an game environment where visiting opponents dread to play.Flyover was very cool.

16 and 22 year olds aren't buying up the NBA tickets though. I'm a middle aged guy that thinks music can add to the environment, because it actually does to arenas and sporting events all over the country.You go to an NBA arena nowadays and the most famous guy in the building (aside from the players) is the DJ.
I don't think a DJ is a bad idea, if the DJ is good, and like you said adds to the atmoshpere... Obviously, NBA teams are getting the cream of the crop to do their games and we probably aren't in that quality market.16 and 22 year olds aren't buying up the NBA tickets though.

Probably not in Htgn WV though. Wasn't worth the effort.
Love it... Bust out some Sandstorm and just play Jock Jams 4 from the beginning. Mission accomplished.-Darude-Sandstorm

Hell, put on the stadium rock channel from Pandora, that's all you need. I listen to it all the time. I didn't even see the students getting into the rap shit. Pretty dull.Love it... Bust out some Sandstorm and just play Jock Jams 4 from the beginning. Mission accomplished.
You know, I about jumped on the pile, and I’m not blameless I definitely did do that on OF, but I think we could all be a little more constructive here.
1. Because there’s a very good chance the dude is reading this. And
2. We need to remember this is just as new to him as it is to us. This was game 1. He’s “blazing the trail” so to speak, there have been no previous Edwards stadium DJs to learn from. So maybe he’s still trying to figure out what works and what people are looking for.
So my constructive criticism:
-Pick a crowd and cater to them with music choices that get them going. (The best one can do in a family friendly environment anyway). That should probably be the students and players. I was really interested to see how this would work out, I was watching the students. If it was a song they were interested in, you could see the energy. If it was Tootse Roll or YMCA, you could not
-I say this knowing that I could not do this myself. But you need to be more than just a “Play Button”. We could have Jason Toy hit play on DJ Khalid and bounce his head for a minute. The DJ needs to interact more with the students/crowd, and the music should be more dynamic. (Again, I don’t know how that is accomplished but I know the vibe I get)
-There is no earthly way that you will be able to pick music that pleases everybody. (Aside from Thunderstruck). So get the students and players hyped, and even if some people don’t like the music, that positive energy will still feed itself around the stadium. Enthusiasm is contagious.

Most of the rap was older than they are.Hell, put on the stadium rock channel from Pandora, that's all you need. I listen to it all the time. I didn't even see the students getting into the rap shit. Pretty dull.
Where were you sitting?I thought he was great and everyone i was sitting around kept talking about about how it added to the atmosphere. Guess people just needed to find something to complain about. Go HERD
Its not good music, not one gets into it. I didn't see anything out of anyone in the stands except for a few songs - which weren't rap. The imagination of our DJ and the dude running the music board in the press box is pitiful. Listen to what they play at NFL, NHL and other venues, it's sure as hell not what we hear in the Joan.Most of the rap was older than they are.

C-130's do "flyovers" of Appalachian Power Park here in Charleston all throughout Power games, and usually at altitudes much lower than the one that happened at Marshall. This is due to their runway being just over the hill and it taking some time to get a bird that sized to altitude.The C130 flyover was also dangerous. Was that really necessary?
Sec 113 Row 36 Seat 105ish. Come have a listen sometime, I got a voice like a goddamn airhorn and all the self-awareness of a male cheerleader.I think some fans would rather spend time visiting the bathrooms and bitching about the urinals than actually participating in an game environment where visiting opponents dread to play.
I was being sarcastic in my critique. Being overly critical of positive changes and potentially new traditions has become as predictable as a Doc Holiday offensive scheme with some in this fan base.C-130's do "flyovers" of Appalachian Power Park here in Charleston all throughout Power games, and usually at altitudes much lower than the one that happened at Marshall.

I personally liked it, and I hope they do it again sometime for reasons other than the commemoration of a national tragedy.
How about Zamfir the Pan Flute guy?Slim Whitman and Boxcar Willie?

Pan Flute is what plays when a ninja is getting ready to kill you and/or your family.Is a Pan Flute different than a Skin flute?
Ask Mrs W-S Herd Fan, and then get back to us...Is a Pan Flute different than a Skin flute?
Would be cool to get a Stealth.C-130's do "flyovers" of Appalachian Power Park here in Charleston all throughout Power games, and usually at altitudes much lower than the one that happened at Marshall.

Well Coach Huff wanted a student DJ if I recall but obviously few tried out.
I'd rather go rickety bi-plane, swooping down into the bowl, with a guy dressed up like Dom Deluise in Cannonball Run leaping out of the plane at midfield chute-less with the game ball in hand, tumbling into the coin toss.Would be cool to get a Stealth.
