If not, you'll probably find the one you're looking for on this page. |

Any ideas?? Yeah right. You probably want to use it for the intro at the beginning of your gigs. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | ABC uses this for their broadcasts, but I'm not sure I ever heard it at the Olympics. I attended all the track and field events in Los Angeles at the 1984 Olympics and the song I remember primarily hearing over the public address system in the Colliseum was the opening theme to the movie Chariots of Fire. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Pick up the Telarc CD "Stars & Stripes" by The Cleveland Winds, directed by Frederick Fennel. Fantastic CD of concert band marches and stuff like that. Includes the Olympic Theme mentioned above, plus the John Williams theme of the '84 Olympics and a whole bunch of other concert band march stuff. Highly recommended.

I heard they're even thinking of suing Olympia Washington before 2010. |

"Chariots" was used at the 84 Winter Olympics. (Brad - sure you weren't in Sarajevo?) |

"Chariots" was used at the 84 Winter Olympics. (Brad - sure you weren't in Sarajevo?) It was blaring everyday as you walked into the Colliseum, and it was impressive. Maybe they couldn't get enough of it at Sarajevo so they kept it going in the summer. |

Nah, it had to be summer. Too many skimpy little outfits. The music was blaring everyday as you walked into the Colliseum, and it was impressive. Maybe they couldn't get enough of it at Sarajevo so they kept it going in the summer. |

Maybe you should move the quotes icon and the edit icon a little farther apart... |
