au160 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I can't remember the last time they had the organ playing during the state finals while they would do the face offs but it was one of my favorite memories. It was much better than having to listen to thunderstruck three times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattM Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I agree the organ playing was amazing. The constant organ sound I can do without. Budget cuts must not be good on the organ player industry too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallybird Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I used to only go and watch for the organ and to hear the one really loud Shaved Ice guy. He reminds me of Donnie Baker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuneFan Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I miss either "Impossible Dream" or "One Moment in Time" being sung as all 28 finalists are on the mat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PANKOStrengthSpeed Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 The face off used to be worth the price of admission alone. I watched the face off from the 2005 Finals at my parents house the other night. That organ will send chills down the spine. Something I had never noticed was at the end of Kenneth Caldwell's introduction, Union County 189. As the announcer read the achievements and moved onto Kenneth's decision to attend the Naval Academy, the organ finished playing out the note and then played the first few noted of "Anchors Aweigh." Can't get that with "Thunderstruck." Adrian Panko, PANKO Strength & Speed, www.pankostrengthandspeed.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
au160 Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 I think we need a petition ... or something i mean does anyone know who the guy was who used to play the organ? He used to get so into it. It seriously made the finals 10x better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcook Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 The organ did make the finals more unique. You have middle school meets that will play ACDC during intros. Is there an organ still at Conseco? I feel like high school kids are reading this thinking we are talking about phonographs and Morse code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrecoISU Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Yeah there still is one. It was on the end where the awards are done in a big open space in between suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
