I have a junior team whose music is all about youth/being young/etc. Our advanced senior team is called "Senior Gold", so their music has a lot of songs that talk about gold/glitter/etc.
Now that we're getting to the end of the year, the themes have kind of been forgotten BUT they were really fun for the teams when they were first getting into their music! The gym that I train at has used a theme for their Worlds teams for the past two years, but this year, our coach decided to go "themeless". Overall, I think that themes are REALLY fun when you're in the building stages of the routine, but they seem to be forgotten over time. I think they're always exciting for the spectators though
May I ask what songs your senior team uses that talk about gold & glitter? The school that I coach at, their colors are black, gold, and white, and we're always trying to find music that could be used containing our school colors (or one of them at least).
As a coach, I think themes are SUPER fun, however, not necessarily for music. I think it's important to have a theme for the year, just to keep things fun for the team. I am in the process of preparing for tryouts for next year, and I have already had my heart set on our theme being "Fearless", as we will be doing new activities, attending new camps, and hopefully bringing in some new traditions.....
