Ideas for ice skating programme music? HELP!!!?

Question

I am NISA Level 5 (Don't know USA equivelent). I am 15 years old and I do axel, double salchow, toe and loop plus flying camel and jump sit and death drop. I need a piece of music 2mins +-5secs (but i am quite happy to cut it down so any length really).

I want a jazzy/ showy piece of music (similar to sing, sing, sing) but it has to be instrumental.

Has anyone got any suggestions please?!!

HELP ME!!!!!

Answer 1

How about "Miserlou" by d**k Dale & His Del-Tones?

Also, there is a song on John Berry's "Goldfinger" soundtrack called "Alpine Drive / Auric's Factory" that is a particularly pleasant variation of the "Goldfinger" theme. (Trust me - you'll know when and where to edit) It may not be particularly "booming" per se - but you can't beat it for "cool factor" - and, you know the boys will be impressed... maybe the judges, too.

Answer 2

I recommend "I Got Rhythm" by George Gershwin.

Answer 3

go to i-tunes and search big bad voodoo daddy they have lots of modern swing songs that you can cut up

avoid "zoot suit"...every skater has tried a routine to that song and it's so overdone aswell as being too bouncy, you'll be too worn out to get in all of your jumps

Answer 4

here are other songs from the swing era:

The Swing Era has left behind a lot of recordings that are now classics. Some of those are:

    * "Sing, Sing, Sing" by Louis Prima

    * "Begin the Beguine" by Artie Shaw

    * "Tuxedo Junction" by Glenn Miller

    * "Jersey Bounce" by Benny Goodman

    * "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)" by Duke Ellington

    * "Body and Soul" by Coleman Hawkins

    * "In the Mood" by Glenn Miller

    * "Song of India" by Tommy Dorsey

    * "Jumpin' at the Woodside" by Count Basie

    * "Stardust", which has been recorded by everyone from Armstrong, to Miller to Shaw.

    * "Cherokee" by Charlie Barnet

    * "I Can't Get Started" by Bunny Berigan

Answer 5

You can try going to www.skatemusiclist.com and www.sk8tunes.com and try finding a piece of music that you enjoy and feel like you can skate to and can make appeal to the judges. Good luck!
