A lot of times we use original music. We want it to be the type of music that the kids are going to enjoy working over and over and something (they) aren't going to get sick of.

Even though we care about our audiences and our judging community, we care about our kids first. What they're going to get out of it is the most important thing. We don't want to play music that has no substance. We want to make sure our kids are developing as musicians and intellectuals.
