    “Your Home of the Chiefs” is pumped up & exciting. It has me wanting NFL football again. Will have to wait until August for pre-season.

    The Atlanta Braves soundtrack theme is so much more than just music—it’s a powerful symbol of the team’s identity, history, and the community that supports them. From the first few notes, it sparks a feeling of pride and nostalgia that every true Braves fan can relate to. It carries the weight of the team’s legacy and reflects the strength and unity of Braves Country.

    What I really love is how the soundtrack captures the energy of being at the ballpark. Even if you’re watching from home or just hearing it in passing, it instantly transports you into the atmosphere of the game—the crowd roaring, the anticipation building, the connection between fans and players. It’s almost like an emotional time machine that brings you to the heart of the action.

    Great job! (Also, I am a huge fan of our music package, The Rock!)

    Gray Media
    As Braves on Gray Flagship, Peachtree TV in Atlanta, I love that one. They’re all good in their own right though. Cool seeing the variety of work… as for Dallas, nice but that Luka video didn’t age well….

  10. Jacque Murphy says:
