Mr. Lynch47,
My name is Alex Green. Myself and another person are responsible for every song and clip that get played during JC football games. Most of the time, the other person does the in-game music and I am on the chain crew. I do, however, make 99% of the clips used.
I've been on the chain crew for about 8 years now. And I can tell you, the players from the other team respond to the music/clips played. The other teams fans love the music as well, I can hear them behind me either laugh or say something slick when a clip is played.

I've had people I work with and I've had people stop me in town and tell me how much they enjoy the football games because of the music/clips played. I take pride in creating a clip and the fans/players respond to it. If a JC coach or player wants something played or something not to be played, we have always been in compliance with their request.

We've never played anything disrespectful to the other teams/fans/coaches/players/schools. JC's Principal Mr. Crum and AD Mr. McKenzie know what we are gonna play before the games. I know this to be true because I have told them both on every home game this year what new music we have for the upcoming game.

I'm sorry you have no sense of humor. We try to make the JC football games as entertaining as possible. We take pride in using different songs and clips.... People that know I do the music send me PM's on here, text, call, send me FaceBook messages on clip ideas.

I played a song a few weeks by Chris Stapleton (JC Grad and former football player) "What Are You Listing To" The crowd loved it. The PA announcer even said during the song "this song is by former JC player #33 Chris Stapleton" How many other schools can say that around this area?

Kudos to you for being so involved with the program. Well done.

That having been said, I feel the same way about pre-game and in game music that I do about student cheering sections and PAs: who cares. I'm there to watch the game on the field. Nothing more; nothing less. If that's not entertainment enough for me, I shouldn't have gone to a high school football game.

While I'm an "old school" old man that could give a hoot less about side shows like music, organized student cheering sections or whether there even is a PA, I'm fine with the concept of "to each, their own". If the fans and players at JC are into the music, that's cool with me. And they obviously are, so a tip of the hat to you.

And to the topic of this thread: I haven't seen JC play this year, but if they are close to being as good as advertised on this site, I expect them to win easily; by 14 or more. No disrespect meant towards CovCath, but they are no where near as good this year as they were last year. Perhaps if everyone was healthy, they may have been close to being as good, but they aren't from what I hear.

Good luck to both teams and hopefully all the kids come out of the game healthy.
