Okay, so I got talked into entering a basic skills comp. I signed up not 2 weeks ago for this--rather spur of the moment, as I've never competed before and hadn't really planned on doing so. The required/permitted moves are simple (I have no nerves regarding that), and the music is provided, OR the competitor can provide music (no more than 1 minute).

So today I finally got to the rink for a freestyle session to hear the music. "I'm Looking Over a Four-Leaf Clover," complete with HONK! HONK! clown horns. Looked very cute on the little girl who was working on her program, but for me??? Only if I were wearing a red nose and a rainbow wig.

Does anyone know of any websites that have cuts of more age-appropriate music? No lyrics allowed. HELP HELP HELP!!!! This comp is Saturday. (Message to self: NEVER DO THIS AGAIN!!) Fortunately our (my & dh's) entire music collection is already digitized so I may be able to cut something quick, but if there's something out there already cut, well, I'll take it!

Dunno if anything here is suitable, but I recorded these myself, on classical guitar. You are welcome to use anything, in edited form ...

Perhaps the Spanish Romance ...
or perhaps Andante ...
or evocacion is beautiful ...

Just a helpful longshot anyway.

Check out the overture of your favorite soundtrack. There are usually short snippets of the best songs 'mixed' together. The overture is a medley, and the songs in the show/movie/etc. are played without any vocals.

There's always Karaoke, but don't let Nova & Company near the mic.

use audacity to cut your own music

Over on www.have-dog.com/house there is a clip of some original piano music cut for the show House. It has to be around a minute or so, I think, and if not, you could easily cut it I'd think. Very pretty music.

Thanks, everyone, for the suggestions and websites, and Derek, for the classical guitar cuts. My week is so busy that I may not have time to cut new music. . . but I seem to have gained back my sense of humor with a good night's sleep, so I think I might be able to roll with the punches of the clown-y music. . .
