Jon Bennett of Cheerleading-Music-Mix.com:
1) Using “Pre-made” cheer tracks. Yes, judges can spot “pre-made” tracks a mile away.
2) “Home-made” music mixes that use “basic” techniques full of weird transitions and out-of-place sound effects.
3) Themes: The problem with themes is that in order to make them work, you end up using songs that should never be in a cheer mix. ( we can make themes work, but in general, they are a bad idea )
4) Using too many different genres in the same mix. For example: 4 hip hop songs and 1 country song…. bad idea.
5) Using someone else’s cheer mix.
