So i was reading about floor routines on the site and it doesn't seem rare for gymnasts to pay upwards of $300 for a floor routine, is this the norm at your gym because here (well in my gym) I have never payed for a routine, music or choreography, and they have all been original (bar my current that was a girl who never actually competed it's floor music). All the music came from my coach or we found it ourselves of various sites.
I really like how our system works basically what happens with us is: Level 4, coaches pick music and choreograph 2 routines (one for older girls and one for younger girls) and all of level 4 will compete one of the 2 routines. Level 5 everyone gets their own routine choreographed by two of our coaches unless you organise otherwise but this has only ever occurred once in my squad. Everyone keeps their routine for 2 years but you can change if you organise music without coaches help.
As for music is concerned, unless you bring music to your coach she pretty chooses it for you and unless you really don't like it that is pretty much your music. We never pay for music as coach has a large selection on her laptop and I cut all my squads music as my coach likes 1:00 - 1:10 floor routines to incur minimum deductions. What is the norm for your gym?
