Okay, so the USAG compulsory music is awful! But, just out of curiosity, can someone in JO use the compulsory (probably level 4 or 5, since it's longer) music in optionals, but with different choreography?

Yeah, it's just because I'm curious. I would NEVER want the compulsory music again! But, it would be cool to see ONE girl (NOT every child at the meet!) compete a routine with compulsory music, but with harder skills and better choreography.I know in USAICG it is forbidden... Not sure about optionals. I don't know why you would want that though...
We have actually had girls do it for fun in practice. I wouldnt want it in a meet, but for just one practice - yah.Yeah, it's just because I'm curious. I would NEVER want the compulsory music again!

Derailing the thread...As a music major, I detest the quality of the mixing.
I don’t think it’s forbidden by IGC but rather USAG. That doesn’t want it crossing the line.I know in USAICG it is forbidden... Not sure about optionals. I don't know why you would want that though...
I know! The music is HORRIBLE! But, the idea just popped into my mind, and had no idea if it was allowed. Again, I WOULD NEVER USE THAT MUSIC AGAIN! But I was very curious, since more than one person can have the same optional music. Plus, I doubt the judges would like to hear the compulsory music when it isn't necessary, either. I was just imagining a level 8 using the level 4 music, and wondered if it was even allowed.WHY?!?!?!
It should definitely NOT be allowed. In fact, there should be a very hefty fine ($1,000,000) and all USAG members involved in the incident, coaches and athletes included, should lose their membership. The member club should lose their membership as well and be closed for good.
The ultimate nightmare: continuing to use the compulsory music past its necessary lifespan. As a music major, I detest the quality of the mixing.
Ew.
I know that! I HATE the compulsory music, but I just want to know if it is allowed, because I am curious! I would like to see someone more daring than me use the compulsory music in optionals, just once, to see how the judges, gymnasts and coaches from other teams, and parents would react.I think you can use it in Xcel because a) it is a USAG program and b) you are allowed to compete in both Xcel and JO - but otherwise WHY would an optional want to use it?!?! Choreography aside, it’s pretty terrible music. For the girls I coach, the best part about becoming an optional gymnast was getting to never have to use the compulsory music ever again.
I've been a drummer for about ten years now, but I also dabble a bit in other percussion. I also play the didgeridoo fairly often. I am ultra eclectic in my musical tastes and respect all artists and genres. However, the heaviest, most brutal death metal and very progressive, technical music always wins my heart.Derailing the thread...
As someone who also has a BA in music, I'm being nosy. What is your primary instrument, and education, composition, performance, or something else?
And the quality of the compulsory music drives me nuts too.
Hey @LindyHopper, LET'S DO IT!!!I nominate Aero and LindyHopper to find our new music.

Ok, I posted before I read the replies. And not only do great minds think alike, har har, but I choked on my Christmas cookie. Shame on you.WHY?!?!?!

BAHAHAHA!!!! They would probably wonder if they were at the right session!!!I would LOVE to see the looks on the judges faces when the music started though....
