Rub it in whydontcha.... our season doesn't begin until January. We just ran the L3 routines to music for the first time last week, lol!

 

[Mrs. Puma]

Not in NY! States aren’t until May! We don’t have the compulsories one season, optionals the other thing. It’s all one big, long season! For me personally we’re done with compulsories (she’s in USAIGC now and even if she went back to JO at some point she has scored out of L5) but sorry to my fellow NYers! LOL Yeah for you though, @coachp !

Omg....i laughed so hard i was almost physically ill....

 

[duyetanh]

Ps...."envious are we who are 'fortunate' to hear it all year long," (says my dd sarcastically). Lol!

 

[sfts]

Our season runs October-April. I have barely begun to hear the music which haunts my dreams.

 

[Committed]

Compulsory season is the time is truly do not watch my DD at gym. I don’t watch a few minutes after drop off. I don’t come 30 minutes early to watch a little of the last event.
How many more years of this music is there?

Committed, I think you may have hit upon the reason why USAG made the compulsory music so awful—it is a secret plot to keep parents out of the gym. And it is working!

Coachp you are lucky.

Unfortunately we mostly don’t have to listen to compulsory music. But here optionals end up in sessions with compulsory. We have escaped it 2 times this season. But I’m sure my luck won’t last.

 

[Aero]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, lucky you. Our first meet for the Level 4s and 5s is this weekend.

It's a long road ahead…

 

[FlippinLilysMom]

Unless you are like me and have to work the music at the upcoming compulsory state meet.....at least I know that I can't screw up the music, just keep hitting repeat over and over and over and over.....

 

[Taxidriver]

As a GB parent I can’t even imagine what it must be like, we find it bad enough when we go to a competition and a gym has the same music for 4/5 gymnasts, at our gym they all have different music which they keep for 2 years and then it won’t be reused by another gymnast for at least a couple of years.

Don't be so sure! There are 3 different versions of the same song!

This!! Accidentally played flute instead of piano once and I thought the floor judge was going to kill me!

 

[rosiekat]

The two reasons I'm glad my gymnast is male: compulsory floor music and meet hair.
