Music Spaces

So places in which we encounter music... I'm an athlete at BSC so I'm gonna have to go with athletic events. During games in any sport, there is constantly music being played in the background even if the game is going on. Typically it isn't just any type of music that is played; it's gonna be the type of music that will pump up not only the athletes but the crowd as well. I can't tell you how many times I've heard the song "We Will Rock You" during an athletic event, but I have to tell you it never gets old for me. That's where songs like that belong and if they weren't played there then it just wouldn't be the same. Another reason that there is music being played is that it tends to keep spectators interested in the game. If one of the teams is blowing the other team out of the water then the music will keep the fans interested. With music playing they at least have something to clap their hands to, or to wave their arms to, you get the picture. Music at athleic events also helps people to connect with one another. A lot of friends are made through music and what better place to make friends than a football game, where you can meet someone who loves the same team that you do as well as the same music? So even though the music at sporting events is played in the background, it definitely plays a huge role not only for the athletes but for the fans as well.

  1. It's true. Sporting events just wouldn't be the same without music. It affects the attitudes of both the athletes and spectators. There would definitely be something missing without it.
