2. Appropriate or Not? - Words - Subject Matter
Track 1 -
Lose Yourself - Eminem
Track 2 -
You Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC

3. Clean version does not mean school appropriate
Discuss lyrics and content

4. The Problem - Inappropriate Music at Events
Setting up for events is detail intensive for Athletic Directors
Making time for music and playlists is not often a high priority
Coaches are overstretched for time as well
Student-athletes create their own play lists and find ways to connect their devices

5. Solutions? Let’s share the best ideas!!!
Sharing/Posting approved and appropriate playlists on the MIAAA website for members - Discuss
Using athletic department devices only - Example: synchronized Samsung Android tablets ($145 per w/case) using Google Play cards for purchase of music app. and downloading music - Separate Google account set up by Tech.
Neptune Game Time - Anybody use this service?
Other solutions/suggestions?

6. Additional Suggcestions/Ideas
Requests in advance to Athletic Director or designee
Screen which version. Printed lyrics.
Athletic Trainer volunteered to create a playlist.
Use Pandora
Themed music event day - Valentine’s day (80’s love songs), Beatles day, Elvis, etc.
Audio merger - free file online - Create one long MP3 that you make yourself that plays as one song.
