Music (at the right times) during games is a definite positive for the game of Ultimate. It makes a beutiful game even better to watch and play. Ice Hockey and Basketball have been doing since the year dot. It's a shame about what happened at Loughborough but it's NOT a reason to stop the music. Just an opportunity to learn.
