To argue the other side for a moment, just because ONE person thinks it is too loud, doesn't mean it always should be turned down as someone may be hyper-sensitive and it makes more sense to use earplugs for those few. My thoughts apply to legitimate complaints about volume level, which can be objectively measured with the sound tech's meter (or something better than a cell phone app!) at the locations where people need to hang out.
Also, I hope the standard pre-event preparation includes informing the show crew all the places where participants (students/volunteers) will be located and the need for sound levels to be acceptable. In some cases, teams will be in queuing for a long time if there are field problems and/or a match needs to be replayed -- while the DJ is playing audience participation tunes.
