At nationals i did not notice it being all that loud, in-fact it was quite pleasant, but at the UTC regional
Its too loud ... always:

I'm deaf out of my left ear and the volume of the music makes it impossible for me to hear anyone.
In order for others to hear me on stage i had to yell (in the pits and crowed it was easy enough to hear everything)
The other thing that always kinda bothered me was the floor under where we Que at the UTC regional vibrates due to the overly loud music. (Those who attended the UTC regional since it moved to the meadows music theater knows what i am talking about here)

So i say its alright to blast the music to the crowd, but on stage it could be toned down a bit. Just a little, but not so much so that we have to forgo the annual Dancing while we wait to pick alliances ha-ha, good times.

But the sore throat and the mild annoyance of hearing isn't enough to keep me away !
