I have really enjoyed my time at the Great Lakes regional this past weekend, in all but one ways. The music was simply too loud. I don't have anything against playing music at the competitions, because it does make it more exciting. However, the decibel levels were dangerously high. High enought that 3 days exposure could cause permantant or temporary hearing damage. Not to mention the headaches that I got(I am sure that I'm not alone). I think that participants should have to right to compete without being subjected to such a danger.

First is doing a good thing in promoting engineering for kids. But wouldn't it be great if tomorrow's engineers didn't need to use hearing aids?
