Sonja Hilmer (USA) announced her FS music yesterday with a clip of her footwork to the end: https://www.instagram.com/p/Csy8yhfA4ch/

FS: Themes from Avatar: The Last Airbender [animated TV series] by The Track Team and Samuel Kim
Choreographer: Sonja Hilmer

"You must look within yourself, to save yourself, from your other self. Only then will your true self... reveal itself"

I'm excited to start the new season program announcements off with my free program! I will be skating to a medley of themes from Avatar: The Last Airbender both by the Track Team and Samuel Kim @samuelkimmusic

Avatar was (and still is) a staple of my childhood (I'm still a child) and I can't believe I hadn't though of skating to it before Choreography, music editing, and costume design will all be by me! Extra points to whoever can recognize what's in the step sequence

And of course this fire videography is by the one and only @oniceperspectives Shout out to the rest of the skaters for the background excitement

.

 

[Frau Muller]

Two AVATAR FSs…Yujae Kim (Kor) too.

Avatar the latest film (most likely) is not the same as Hilmer's music.

[Orm Irian]

Per her Instagram story, Anastasia Golubeva and Hektor Giotopoulos Moore will be skating to The Umbrellas of Cherbourg for one program (presumably the free) in the coming season.

seems like this might be the year of the umbrellas - it seems like a lot of people are going for it this year

Umbrellas is good film music. “Good film” is similar to classical in my book.

Hey, it’s not Billie Eilish!

I wish Nicole would have one new program. , I like Sofia's choice.

 

[Frau Muller]

I wish Nicole would have one new program. , I like Sofia's choice.

Exactly. This is Nicole Schott’s 3rd season for “Rain in Your Black Eyes”…was long in 21/22 (I think?), then short last season and next. She must consider it her lucky music.

 

[Wyliefan]

Given the dire financial situation, I imagine it was more cost-effective to keep her programs.

 

[Sylvia]

Per her Instagram story, Anastasia Golubeva and Hektor Giotopoulos Moore will be skating to The Umbrellas of Cherbourg for one program (presumably the free) in the coming season.

Jonathan Guerreiro was the choreographer tagged in the same Instagram story (screen shot): https://twitter.com/InTheLoPodcast/status/1665017504396132354

Adam Solya posted that he has choreographed both of Alexia Paganini's programs and Lukas Britschgi's FS (Solya included the themes but not the music in his post): https://www.instagram.com/p/Cs1jN1orYZe/
Golden Skate quoted Alexia re. her programs as follows: https://twitter.com/goldenskate/status/1665035958540988416

“I went in the direction I wanted to go, I followed my own vision with these two programs, not necessarily my coaches or other peoples’ visions. Working with Adam was great. We found something that fits to me, that is a bit different than normal but not a huge step out of my comfort zone.
I dream of showing up at a competition without revealing the music before. ”

Golden Skate also mentioned on Twitter (and IG) that Andrea Vaturi is choreographing Lukas' SP now: https://twitter.com/goldenskate/status/1665027550471507970

Now he is back on training ice in Oberstdorf after getting his new Free Skate choreographed by Adam Solya in Belgium in May.
“I will announce my music at some point during the summer!”, he told us with a smile. “I want to show a new side of myself this season, of course still aiming to have modern and inovative programs, but I want to go slightly into a new and different direction!”
He is currently in Milan , working on the new SP with Andrea Vaturi.

ETA that the info on Paganini & Britschgi is cross-posted in the OES News thread: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/threads/oes-news-22-23.109888/page-5#post-6438820

If something as dire as this piece of shit music happens to be your "lucky music" you really should overthink your life choices.
I'd rather skate to a Tokio Hotel medley than this bore for 3 seasons. And I HATE Tokio Hotel.

I want a Tokyo Hotel program! But only from their early stuff, like DontJump and Monsoon. Soooooo emo

I watched the Junior RD at the Paradise Coast Classic on YouTube, and here was the music from the two teams:

Helena Carhart/Volodymyr Horovyi - INXS medley
Isabella Hagan/Shawn Hagan - Ghostbusters

My kingdom for some original ideas.

my only hope at this point is that IAM can't have 2 teams doing the same so there will at least be a healthy amount of variety

Sure - but that makes at least two Ghostbusters programs that we know of and we've barely scratched the surface of program announcements/debuts, lol.

Very excited about this! I've had this piece of music on a "skating suggestions" playlist for about a year now and am very interested in the tracks they've chosen for Mone!
